Court Remands Two Over Armed Robbery
A Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court last Monday, ordered the remand of two men, Musa Yunusa, 32 and Usman Abdullahi, 35, in prison over alleged armed robbery.
The defendants were arraigned on a two-count charge bordering on criminal conspiracy and armed robbery.
The Magistrate, Mrs Hajara Dauda, who refused the plea of the defendants, ordered that they be remanded pending advice from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
“The accused are to be remanded in prison pending the release of the legal advice by the DPP,” she said.
She adjourned the matter until October 24, for mention.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Sunday Baba, told the court that one Rabi Yusuf of Ungwan Rimi Kaduna reported the matter at the Gabasawa Police Station Kaduna on October 2.
According to Baba, Yunusa and Abdullahi allegedly robbed the complainant of her cell phone valued at N45,500 and N10,000 cash, totalling N55,500 while armed with a locally made gun.
Baba said the offence contravened Sections 59 and 283 of the Penal Code Law of the Kaduna State 2017.
