Section 463: Default of convict in complying with community service order

(1) Where at any time during the community service period, the Registrar of the Community Service Centre informs the court of the default of the convict in complying with the directives of the Community Service Order, the court may issue a summons requiring the convict to appear before it.
(2) Where the convict fails, refuses or neglects to appear in obedience to the summons, the court may issue a warrant of arrest.
(3) Where it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that the convict has failed to comply with any of the requirements of the Community Service Order, the court may:
(a) vary the Order to suit the circumstances of the case; or
(b) impose on him a fine not exceeding N100,000.00 or cancel the Order and sentence the convict to any punishment which could have been imposed in respect of the offence, but the period of community service already performed may count in the reduction of the sentence.
(4) A supervising officer shall not employ the convict for his or her personal benefit.
(5)
Where a supervising officer employs the convict for his or her personal benefit, the officer is liable to a fine of N100,000.00 or more, or such other punishment as the court considers fit.
