Jigawa State Higher Court sitting in Dutse has sentenced a 28-year-old man, Haruna Abdullahi, to 14 years imprisonment for sodomising minors in Jigawa.
The prosecutor told the court that the accused person committed the offence last year at Sabon-Gari quarters in Ringim local government area of the state.
He said the accused had been accused of sodomising boys using chocolate bars to lure the innocent boys in the area.
He, however, stated that the accused person met his Waterloo when he cornered a primary six boy in his room and abused him asexually through anus.

According to him, the case was reported to Ringim police Division and the victim was taken to General Hospital where he was examined and found him culpable.
After the case was mentioned, the accused admitted to having committed the offence before the Court.
He, however, prayed for leniency.
Presiding Judge Usaini Ahmad Taura said the offence was a serious one punishable by law.
He, therefore, sentenced the accused person to 14 years imprisonment without a fine option.
The presiding judge said the jail term would serve as warning to others.
