A COURT in mainly Muslim northern Nigeria has sentenced two Christians to one-year jail terms for selling alcohol, a court official said on Friday. A magistrate court in Gusau, the capital of Zamfara state, on Thursday sentenced Anthony Agumu and Frank Idoko each to one year in prison or an option of paying a 10,000 naira ($80) fine, the official said. In October 1999, Zamfara introduced strict Islamic law that forbids gambling, stealing, prostitution, false accusation and the sale and consumption of alcohol. – AFP
