Man arraigned for selling friend’s land without consent
A businessman, Shehu Adamu, dragged his friend, Yakubu Shuaib, to a Sharia Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State on Monday, for allegedly selling his land without his consent.
Mr Adamu, who resides at Rigasa, Kaduna, through his counsel, M.I. Hashim, prayed the court to order the defendant to refund N800,000 to him, being the value of the land.
“Shuaib sold my client’s land without his permission. We are praying the court to order him to pay and also to adjourn the case for us to bring more witnesses,” the counsel said.
One of the witnesses, Bashir Hassan, testified that Mr Shuaib (defendant) sold the land to him at N1.6 million on July 24.
The defendant, however, denied selling the land to M Hassan (witness), adding that “I am not the one that sold the land to Hassan because it doesn’t belong to me.”
After listening to the parties, the judge, Nuhu Falalu, adjourned the case till November 22 for the appearance of more witnesses and continuation of the case.
