Olabode \u00a0Adaramola<\/p>\n

A\u00a0 Chief\u00a0 Magistrate Court sitting in Bosso Local Government Area of Niger State\u00a0 has ordered for the remand of\u00a0 a former Commissioner\u00a0 in the\u00a0 state,\u00a0 to\u00a0 a Minna Correctional Centre.<\/p>\n

The erstwhile Commissioner Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Katcha,\u00a0\u00a0 was\u00a0 standing trial on a count charge which bordered\u00a0 on\u00a0 Intentional Insult to Provoke\u00a0\u00a0 a breach of public peace,\u00a0\u00a0 an offence which\u00a0 contravened\u00a0 section 399 of the penal code.<\/p>\n

According to the First Information Report ( FIR), made available in Court\u00a0 and obtained by the National Wire ,\u00a0 one Isah\u00a0 Lakpene of Opposite Aloevera Hotel in Minna, reported to the Tudun Wada Police Division under the state Police Command,\u00a0 on the 19th December, 2019, that ” you Mohammed Abubakar Katcha of House No.2,\u00a0\u00a0 besides Himma College in Minna, called him on his Telephone\u00a0 and raining series of abuses on him\u00a0 over a reason best known to you” .<\/p>\n

The Police Prosecutor an Assistant Superintendent of Police[ASP}\u00a0 Abdullahi Maiyaki,\u00a0 told the court that during police investigation\u00a0 the former Commissioner admitted committing the offence and pleaded for forgiveness.<\/p>

However, when the charge was read to him by the presiding Chief Magistrate AlhAJI\u00a0 Ibrahim Swasu Shabafu , he pleaded not guilty to the charge.<\/p>\n

At this Point, the Police prosecutor {ASP} Abdulahi Mayaki, objected to the bail of the former Commissioner on the ground that he was\u00a0 an habitual offender who was standing trial on similar offence before a Minna Chief\u00a0 Magistrate Court No2.<\/p>\n

He told the Court that granting him bail at this\u00a0 point he will commit similar offence my Lord. I strongly objected to his\u00a0 bail. I Urged the court to remand him in Minna Custodian Centre. he told the court.<\/p>\n

The Defence Counsel to the accused,\u00a0 Barrister\u00a0 Mahmud Mohammed\u00a0 made an oral application for his client\u2019s bail and the Chief Magistrate advised that he should come through formal application and adjourned the case to 6th, January, 2019, for further mentioned and ordered for the remand\u00a0 of the\u00a0 former Commissioner in Custodian Centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
