Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the two -count charges.


Prosecution counsel,  S.H. Sa'ad then prayed the court for commencement of trial while defence counsel A.M Lukman applied for bail for the defendant.


In a ruling, Justice Mohammed granted the defendants bail in the sum of N300,000 (Three Hundred Thousand Naira) each and one surety in like sum that must be resident in Sokoto. The Judge further directed the sureties to deposit their recent passport photographs with the registry of the court and adjourned the matter to 2nd April, 2024 for commencement of trial.


The duo allegedly fraudulently advertised a plot of land situated behind Sani Dingyadi School Sokoto for sale and the petitioner indicated interest and paid the sum into the suspects bank account number.
