A 24-year-old labourer, Fahad Bello, was arraigned on Tuesday before a Life Camp Chief Magistrates’ Court in Abuja on charges of criminal trespass, mischief, and theft of tiles and electric wires valued at ₦7.8 million. Bello, who lives in the Kado Biko area of Gwarinpa, pleaded not guilty to all counts.
According to Police Prosecuting Counsel Mrs. Charity Nwachukwu, the complainant, Mr. Charles Okwudirichukwu of Jabi Park, Abuja, reported the incident to the Life Camp Police Station on May 1.
Nwachukwu told the court that Okwudirichukwu had visited his construction site in Gwarinpa late that night when he “heard some noise inside the ceiling.” Upon investigation, he discovered Bello cutting through already–fixed electric wires.
During the attempted theft, the prosecution said, Bello also damaged a chandelier light worth ₦400,000. Further inquiry revealed that he had already removed building tiles valued at ₦1.3 million, electric wires totalling ₦6 million, and ten aluminium window frames worth ₦500,000.
The police investigation included a confessional statement from Bello admitting he sold the stolen materials to Nura Abubakar, Muhammad Muyi, Isha Abdullahi, and Ismalla Nura. Officers also recovered some of the complainant’s electric wires from Muyi. Another suspect, identified only as Meizamalu, remains at large.
“These offences contravene Sections 348 and 288 of the Panel Code,” Nwachukwu stated in court, referring to the stolen property’s unlawful removal and the destruction of the chandelier.
Chief Magistrate Musa Jobbo granted Bello bail in the sum of ₦500,000, with two sureties each in the same amount. Jobbo stipulated that both sureties must be property owners residing within the court’s jurisdiction.
The magistrate adjourned the matter until June 30 for hearing, instructing the prosecution to serve all witnesses with subpoenas and the defence to prepare any preliminary motions. The courtroom was sparsely attended, with Mr. Okwudirichukwu and one of the alleged buyers present.
