The prosecutor said that the police discovered during its investigation that the front door of the complaints house was opened with its normal keys.
He said that the accused was the only person that knew where the complainant had hidden the keys before he travelled.
Garba also said that the complainant’s neighbour saw the accused while he was allegedly siphoning the diesel from the complaint’s generator.
The prosecutor said that offences committed by the accused contravened section 346 and 287 of the penal code.
