She sentenced each of them to three years in jail.
Earlier, Police Prosecutor Abdullahi Mayaki informed the court that the accused committed the offence sometime in December 2016.
Mayaki said the accused had enticed two boys of ages 10 and 12 with N50 and N100 respectively, before assaulting them sexually.
The offence, he said, contravened Section 19 of the Niger State Child Rights Law (Sexual Abuse and Exploitation).
The prosecution officer said under the law the accused should have been sentenced to 14 years imprisonment but noted that the sentence was reduced to six years because the accused persons had pleaded guilty and asked for leniency.
Meanwhile, Director General of the State Child Rights Agency, Hajiya Mairam Kolo, who was in court during the judgment, lauded the judge for the sound decision.
