Police arraign 22-year-old unemployed for ‘stealing’ two generators

Michael Chindo, a 22-year-old unemployed man, was charged on Monday in an Upper Area Court in Gwagwalada, FCT, with stealing two generators worth N350,000.

The police accused Chindo, who resides in Abuja's historic Kutunku Gwagwalada neighbourhood, of trespassing and larceny.

According to the prosecution's attorney, Abdullahi Tanko, the incident was reported to the police on September 24 by Joseph Abiriyi of Williams Street, Old Kutunku.

According to Tanko, the defendant broke into the complainant's compound on September 21 and took two Fireman generators worth N350,000 before fleeing.

According to him, the offences violated Sections 348 and 287 of the Penal Code.

However, the defendant entered a not-guilty plea to the accusations.

The Judge, Sani Umar, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N400,000 with one reasonable and reliable surety in like sum, who must reside within the jurisdiction of the court.

Umar also said that the surety must provide two recent passport photographs and valid means of identification.

He ordered that the address of the surety must be verified by the court staff and in default, the defendant should be remanded in prison custody.

He adjourned the case until Jan. 25, 2023, for a hearing.
