Kano Court Jails APC Chairman 2 Years Over Illegal Possession Of 376 PVCs

A Kano Magistrate court presided over by Faroukh Ibrahim Umar has sentenced the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yautar ward, Aminu Ali, to two years imprisonment for unlawful possession of 367 permanent voters cards (PVCs) bearing different names.

In October, Ali was arrested for collecting PVCs from different people in Gabasawa Local Government Area of the State and that he conspired with some members of his party to commit the offence.

The court sentenced the convict after he pleaded guilty to the two-count charge, which contravened section 22 (a) of the Electoral Act, 2022 as amended. 

However, the magistrate gave the convict an option of N500,000 fine for the first offence.

The court sentenced him to six months with an option of N50,000 fine for the offence of criminal conspiracy, which is contrary to section 97 of the Penal Code.
