A 20-year-old man, Halifa Sani, was on Wednesday docked in a Kano Sharia Court in Kano for allegedly stealing a speaker and cable from a mosque worth N70,000.

Mr Sani, who lives in Gadon Kaya, Kano is charged with theft.

The Prosecution Counsel, Abdullahi Wada, told the court that the case was reported on June 2, at the Gwale police station by Nura Muhammed, who is also the complainant.

Mr Wada said the defendant stole the speaker, property of Usman Ibn-Affan mosque, worth N50,000 and a cable worth N20,000.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The Judge, Umar Lawal-Abubakar, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N10,000 with one surety who should be a blood relation.

Mr Lawal-Abubakar adjourned the matter until June 22, for mention.
