Father takes son to court for idleness

A father in Lagos has taken his 20-year old son to an Islamic court. What caused all this? His idleness! He refused to go to school and his father, Tahir, accused him of belonging to a criminal gang.His idleness became unbearable so much so that his dad asked the that he be sent to prison for refusing to engage in productive activities.

The court did not hesitate to sentence the son to six months in prison and 30 strokes of the cane - which were immediately administered on the premises - for being disobedient to his parents"He is not listening to words and he is bringing shame to my family. I am tired of his nefarious deeds. Please put this boy in prison so that I can be free," Sama'ila Tahir, a market trader in the northeastern town of Bauchi, was quoted as saying.
