The police on Friday arraigned a 20-year-old scavenger, Kabiru Ibrahim, in a Zuba Upper Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, for allegedly constituting a public nuisance.
The police charged Ibrahim of Kagiri Village Gwagwa Abuja, for constituting a public nuisance within Kagiri.
The prosecutor, Chinedu Ogada, told the court that the Vigilante Group of Nigeria Kagiri branch arrested Ibrahim at about 10p.m. on March 5 and handed him over to the police.
Mr. Ogada said that Ibrahim was caught at a dark spot with a cutlass and other dangerous weapons, thereby constituting a nuisance and posing a danger to the public.
