Scavenger in court for constituting public nuisance
The police on Friday arraigned a 20-year-old scavenger, Kabiru Ibrahim, in a Zuba Upper Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, for allegedly constituting a public nuisance.
The police charged Ibrahim of Kagiri Village Gwagwa Abuja, for constituting a public nuisance within Kagiri.
The prosecutor, Chinedu Ogada, told the court that the Vigilante Group of Nigeria Kagiri branch arrested Ibrahim at about 10p.m. on March 5 and handed him over to the police.
Mr. Ogada said that Ibrahim was caught at a dark spot with a cutlass and other dangerous weapons, thereby constituting a nuisance and posing a danger to the public.
He further said that during the police investigation, he could not give a satisfactory response to the questions asked.
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 183 of the Penal Code.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the offence.
The presiding judge, Justice Gambo Garba, granted the defendant N100,000 bail with surety in like sum.
