A Lugbe Grade 1 Area Court, yesterday, sentenced a 35-year-old cook, Yakubu Mohammed, to two months in prison for escaping from police custody.

In his judgment, Mr. Garba Ogbede, said that the court had no option than to sentence the convict accordingly, since he had pleaded guilty to the charge.

Ogbede, however, gave the convict an option of N10,000 fine.

The judge warned the convict to be of good behaviour and to desist from committing crimes after serving his punishment.
