He warned Yusuf to avoid future incidents, stressing that harsher penalties would apply if such behavior recurred.<\/p>\n<p>The court also ordered Yusuf to pay Haruna N230,000 in restitution for damages and theft.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Prosecutor Inspector Chidi Leo told the court that Haruna, who lived in the same compound as Yusuf, reported the incident to Gabasawa Police Station on February 16.<\/p>\n<p>According to Leo, Haruna had previously borrowed N3,000 from Yusuf but was unable to repay it when Yusuf demanded the money. This led to a heated argument between the two.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutor further revealed that Yusuf mobilized four accomplices, who are currently at large, and broke into Haruna\u2019s room. The group assaulted Haruna, destroyed property worth N50,000, and stole his brother\u2019s phone, valued at N180,000.<\/p>\n<p>Leo stated that Yusuf\u2019s actions violated provisions of the Kaduna State Penal Code, 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
