An unemployed man who lives in Dutse Makaranta area, a suburb in Abuja has been docked for scamming.

Stanley Iyamma, 27, was on Thursday arraigned in a Dei-Dei Grade 1 Area Court Shagari quarters, Abuja for alleged cheating a lottery house of N109,000

The police charged Iyamma of Dutse Makaranta, Abuja with cheating.

The Prosecution Counsel, Chinedu Ogada, told the court that the complainant,  Okoh Peter of Dutse Abuja, reported the matter at the Kubwa police station on June 12.

Mr Ogada said that on the same date the defendant went to the complainant’s games house to play a game and promised to pay after playing one game.
