The Judge, Malam Aminu Haruna, said that the conviction of Sale, without option of fine, would begin on June 20.
Sale of Bolari Quarters, Gombe, was convicted upon his plea of guilty when the case was first mentioned on May 23.

According to him, people in the area raised alarm after noticing that many youths, on daily basis, thronged Sale’s house to buy the chemical. (NAN)
