Police nab man for stealing neighbour’s goats
On Thursday, a 30-year-old man, Waziri Yusuf, who allegedly stole his neighbour’s two goats, was docked in a Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
Mr Yusuf was charged with conspiracy and theft.
Prosecution counsel Chidi Leo told the court that the case was reported on February 11 at the Gabasawa Police station by Sani Jibrin, the complainant.
The prosecutor said the defendant and two others, now at large, trespassed into the complainant’s house and stole two goats worth N45,000.
Mr Leo explained that the defendant was arrested after the owner of the stolen goats caught him in the act and raised the alarm, adding that the defendant was caught and handed to the police while the two others ran away.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Magistrate Ibrahim Emmanuel admitted the defendant to bail in N50,000 with one surety each.
He ordered that the surety be the defendant’s relation and gainfully employed.
The magistrate adjourned the matter until March 28 for a hearing.
