Two teenagers, Abba Suleiman and Ahmed Muhammed, have been imprisoned for fighting in public with a dangerous weapon..
The duo were sentenced to one-month imprisonment each by an Area Court sitting in Jos, Plateau State, on Wednesday.
They were convicted and sentenced by the judge, Thomas Ajitse, after they pleaded guilty to public disturbance, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
However, Ajitse gave them an option of N50, 000 fine each and warned them to stay away from crime.
Earlier, the prosecution counsel, Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the case was reported on May 18, at the Anglo-Jos Police Station.
Gokwat said the convicts fought each other and wounded themselves with dangerous weapons.
He said they were both taken to the hospital and treated and then later arrested.
He said the offence contravened the Penal Code Law of the state.
