Scavenger charged with theft of two iron chairs
A 19-year-old scavenger, Danjuma Mohammed, on Monday appeared before a Grade I Area Court in Karu, Abuja, for allegedly stealing two iron chairs.
The defendant, who resides in Nyanya, Abuja, is charged with three counts of joint acts, criminal trespass and theft.
The prosecution counsel, Ayotunde Adeyanju, told the court that the complainant, Ernest Amadi, reported the matter at the Karu Police Station on February 11.
