The magistrate sentenced the 35-year-old man to six months for intimidating his father without a fine option and another six months for insulting his father with an option of N10,000 fine.
The prosecutor further noted that the offence was punishable under Sections 377 and 379 of the Plateau State Penal Code Law.
