{NEWS ZONE} ~ MOM ACCUSES MFM OF HOLDING HER SON, SENTENCED TO CANING
A woman has been convicted of defaming the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry , as she claimed that her son had gone missing after she dropped him off at the worship centre .
The prosecutor, Zannan Dalhatu, told the court that Loveth Matidon had reported at the Utako Police Station Abuja on February 27 that her son was missing .
Dalhatu said Matidon, on that same date , reported that she dropped her three - year -old son at the MFM , Abuja , but could not locate him when she returned .
He said it was revealed during police investigation that Matidon actually kept her son somewhere, went to the church and claimed he was missing .
The prosecutor said the offences contravened sections 178 and 288 of the Penal Code .
Consequently, the Karmo Grade 1 Area Court , Abuja , on Friday ordered that Matidon be given four strokes of the cane for giving false information.
Matidon, who resides at Wuye , Abuja , had pleaded guilty to two counts of giving false information and defamation leveled against her .
The judge , Abubakar Sadiq , gave the order after the convict pleaded guilty and begged the court for leniency .
Sadiq said the court might not be lenient with her the next time she is brought before it.
