The Police has arraigned a 57 year-old man, Abdulhadi Dahiru, at a Kano Sharia Court over alleged breach of trust, cheating and mischief
Dahiru, who lives at Koki Quarters, Kano, is facing a three-count charge of criminal breach of trust, cheating and mischief.
The prosecutor, Insp. Abdullahi Wada, told the court that the complainant, Isah Kassim, who also resides at Koki Quarters, reported the matter at Fagge Police Station, Kano, on July 2.
Wada said that Kassim entrusted the defendant with his Camels to help him sell six out of the Seven camels and keep the remaining one for him to slaughter and take to his mother.
He alleged that the complainant later asked for the remaining one, but the defendant responded that he had sold it at the rate of N250,000.
The prosecutor further told the court that when the complainant asked the defendant to transfer the money to his account, the defendant failed, having converted the money to his personal use, while efforts to get the money proved abortive.
The prosecutor said the offences contravened the provisions of Sections 202 and 206 of the Penal Code.
The defendant, however, pleaded guilty to the charge.
The Judge, Malam Umar Lawal-Abubakar, admitted him to bail in the sum of N50,000 with one reliable surety,wjo must be a blood relation.
He adjourned the case until July 7 for summary trial.
