The defendant’s trouble began after he stood as a surety for one Abdulkadir Mohammed Sani who is being investigated by the Kano Zonal Command of the Commission for alleged offences of obtaining by false pretence and forgery.


When the defendant failed to produce the principal suspect at the required time, it was discovered that all the information given by him, including the claim of being a brother to the suspect, were false.
