The police charged Suleiman of no fixed address with theft.
The Prosecution Counsel, Abdullahi Tanko told the court that the complainant, Sandra Sunday, who resides in Kuje Road, Gwagwalada, Abuja, reported the matter at Gwagwalada Police Station on January 21.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Judge, Abdullahi Abudulkarim, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N80, 000 each with one surety in like sum.
Mr Abudulkarim ordered that the surety must reside within the court jurisdiction and must provide a valid means of identification.
He adjourned the case until March 13 for hearing.
