A Kano Mobile Court has fined Lebanese, Husseini Khaleel, the sum of N200,000 for violating the coronavirus-induced lockdown order and inciting public disturbance in the state.
Mr Khaleel was arraigned on Tuesday on four count charges before Magistrate Sadiku Sammani.
The Lebanese was said to have driven off when flagged down by security operatives close to Bello Dandago House along Ibrahim Taiwo Road, an action the state saw as contrary to section 17 of the Kano State Health and Infectious Disease Law.
He was later arrested by the police.
Khaleel was also said to have failed to produce any valid document that granted him permission to be on the streets, an act which the state said contravenes the provisions of section 137 of the Penal Code Law.
He was said to have interrupted public sitting in judicial proceedings, inciting public disturbance, thereby contravening the provisions of sections 155 and 114 of the Penal Code Law respectively.
Khaleel admitted to the content of the charge sheet filed against him before the court and pleaded with court for leniency.
Magistrate Samani, however, ordered him to pay the sum of N50,000 fine on each of the four charges filed against him.
