The defendant pleaded 'not guilty' to the charge when it was read to him.  Thereafter, prosecution counsel,  S.O Saka prayed for a trial date and the remand of the defendant in a Correctional Centre.


Justice Kumaliya thereafter adjourned till June 4, 2025  and remanded the defendant in a Maiduguri Correctional Centre.
