A High Court in Makurdi on Thursday sentenced a 49-year old woman,  Hephzibah Aondongu to two years imprisonment for issuing a dud cheque of N296,020 to her landlord.

The police charged Aondongu with three counts of issuing a dud cheque, jumping bail, resisting lawful arrest and assaulting the investigating police officer, ASP Benjamin Olade.
