He was convicted and sentenced by A Kano State Shari’a court sitting in Kwana Hudu.
The Judge, Nura Yusuf Ahmad, also ordered that the convict should receive 30 lashes of the cane.
Earlier, Abubakar was charged with snatching two phones valued at N80,000 from a housewife and pushing her to the ground in the Gayawa area of Ungogo LGA.

Judge Ahmad, aside the six months in prison without option of fine and 30 lashes handed to the convict, also ordered him to pay N50,000 for one of the missing phones.
