Emmanuel, gave the order following a guilty plea by Ahmed.
“You are hereby ordered to sweep and clean up the court for five days under the supervision of the court’s registrar.
“The sentence will serve as a deterrent to others who do not want to live in peace with their neighnours,” he said
Earlier the Prosecution Counsel, Insp Chidi Leo told the court that Ahmed committed the offence on March 21 at, Tudun Wada, Kaduna.
