 Alia’s car gift to Benue judiciary in order – Attorney General The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Public Order of Benue State, Hon. Barr. Fidelis Mnyim has said the car gift to the judiciary by Governor Hyacinth Alia is a symbol of support and commitment as promised when he assumed office. Barr Mnyim was reacting to a query posed by Prof. Ernest Ojukwu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, in a tweet on Monday, 7th May 2024, challenging the viability of the autonomy granted to Benue State Judiciary if the State governor was still buying cars for them. MAGIC FM recalls that Governor Alia donated six (SUV) vehicles recently to the judiciary. The Professor had wondered why Governor Alia of Benue State should procure vehicles for the state’s judiciary when the funds allocated to the judiciary could be utilized for that purpose. The Attorney General of the State said that the procurement of vehicles for the judiciary constituted an additional benevolent gesture by the Governor.

Count one reads "That you Jamilu Nabunkari adult,male, and Bashar Sani adult, male, on or about the 31st day of May, 2023 at Sokoto within the Judicial Division of this honourable Court did conspire amongst yourselves to commit an illegal act to wit: Obtaining the total sum of N2,900,000.00 (Two Million Nine Hundred Thousand Naira) from Lawali Tukur Faru under false pretence of sale of a plot of land and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 8(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related (Offences) Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act”.


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.


Investigations revealed the first suspect Nabunkari posed as the owner of the plot while the second suspect Sani presented himself as the land agent.
