The Magistrate, Mr Shawomi Bokkos, summarily tried, and sentenced Kaye after he pleaded guilty to the charge.
The magistrate, however, gave the convict an option to pay N50, 000.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp Ahmed Labaran told the court that the case was reported on July 8, at the Anti- Kidnapping unit Jos by Abdullahi Karfe, the complainant.
The prosecutor said that the defendant and his younger brother, now at large, allegedly threatened to kidnap the complainant.

The offence, according to him, is punishable under the Plateau state Penal Code Law.
