A Kaduna magistrates’ court on Thursday sentenced two sisters, Sarah (27) and Felicia David (25), to five months’ imprisonment each for beating up their neighbour.
The sisters, who reside in Sabon Tasha, Kaduna, pleaded guilty to assault, mischief and joint act.
Magistrate Ibrahim Emmanuel, however, gave them an option to pay a fine of N15,000 each.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Chidi Leo, told the court that the matter was reported by one Esther Francis of the same address on April 28, at the Sabon Tasha Police Station.
Insp Leo said the accused beat up the complainant during a misunderstanding, tore her clothes and destroyed her phone worth N98,000. (NAN)
