Theft
By Amen Gajira
Minna, July 31, 2017 (NAN) The police in Minna on Monday arraigned two men, Ola Martins and Jibril Mohammed, who allegedly broke into a hotel and stole a television set.
The accused appeared before a Minna Magistrates’ Court on a three-count charge of conspiracy, break in and theft.
The prosecutor, Insp. Gunduma Ibrahim, said that Martins connived with Mohammed on June 21 at 10.00 p.m. to break into a room at Aloevera Hotel, where Martins worked as a security guard.
Ibrahim submitted that the television set was valued at N130, 000.
He said that the duo confessed to committing the crime during a police investigation and that the television set was recovered from them.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty.
The Magistrate, Mrs Mariam Kings, granted them bail in the sum of N100, 000 and a surety each.
Kings ruled that the surety must be a civil servant of Grade Level 12 and above.
She adjourned the case until Aug. 9 for hearing. (NAN)
