Police arraign man for snatching bags
The police have arraigned Abdullahi Mohammed in a Grade I Area Court, Nyanya, for snatching a bag.
Mohammed, 32, was charged with one count of extortion on Thursday.
The prosecution counsel, D.F. Abah, told the court that the complainant, Hassana Bobboi, reported the matter at the Utako Police station.

He adjourned the case until March 9 for a hearing.
