Making his verdict yesterday on the matter, the court found Izala guilty of two count charges of inciting violence and disrespect for civil authorities.

He was sentenced to six months jail term for the first charge and one year for the other charge.

Izala was however, given the option of ₦10,000 fine for disobedience to civil authorities and N20,000 for the second offence; disrespect to authorities through demeaning utterances..

However, some fellows in the state paid the N30,000 fine and the 70-year-old had been released.
