The judge advised her to desist from committing offence and to be a decent woman.

“You should always set your goals right, this will also serve as deterrent to others would be offenders,’’ Sadiq said

Before her conviction, James a resident of Karmo, prayed the court to temper justice with mercy, blaming her husband for her promiscuous lifestyle.

According to her, “my husband does not treat me right, but this new man does, he buys clothes and other things.’’

The convict told the court that she had told her husband’s family that she wanted to divorce him.

The prosecutor, Zannah Dalhatu, told the court that James Olanga, the husband of Rose, had reported the matter at the Karmo Police Station, on July 17.

During police investigation, she confessed to the offence.

The prosecutor said that the offence was punishable under Section 387 of the Penal Code.
