Professor Goes To Prison For Disturbing Married Student For S*x.

The Chief Magistrate Court in Kiyawa
Local Government Area of Jigawa State
has sentenced Professor Festus David
Kolo of the Faculty of Education at
Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria
to two months imprisonment for
knowingly enticing a married woman
who was a student in his department
contrary to Section 389 of the penal
code law.
Principal State Prosecution Counsel
Mustapha Adamu, who read the first
information report, said on May 21, one
Muhammad Ghali of Takur Quarters
Dutse “reported you, Prof. Festus David
Kolo of ABU, Zaria, knowing fully well that
Mrs Bushra Ghali Muhammed is his wife,
and you have been making advances
towards her, inciting her, calling her
oftenly, sending her love text messages
using your phone.”
The FIR also said, “You, Prof. Kolo, was
caught red handed by the police at Dan
Musa Guest House Room 109 with Ghali’s
wife after he reported the case to the
police and after several warnings and
pleas by the husband.”
The accused told the court that the
content of the FIR is correct. His lawyers
M.A. Gausu and R.A. Nwande told the
court that the accused is above 60 years
and the bread winner of his family and
therefore begged the court to temper
justice with mercy.
In his ruling, Senior Magistrate
Muhammed Musa Kaugama said the
convict is a first time offender but also in
order to deter the convict against a
similar act in the future, “this court
hereby sentences the convict to two
months imprisonment without option of
fine.
