A Sharia Court in Kano, on Thursday, has ordered the remand of a 10-year-old boy, Abdulrahman Bashir and his accomplice, 18-year-old Bashir Salisu, for alleged trespass and stealing a Tecno Spark 3 phone worth N28,000.
The offenders, who reside in Sheka Quarters, Kano, are facing a three-count charge bordering on criminal conspiracy, trespass and theft, but, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Judge Bello Khalid of the Kano Sharia Court sitting in Fagge, ordered that the minor, Bashir, be kept in a remand home while Mr Salisu should be remanded in a Correctional centre.
Earlier, the prosecution counsel, Abdul Wada, told the court that the defendants committed the offences on August 18, at about 12:00 pm, when the defendants trespassed into the complaint, Hauwa Hassan’s apartment, at Sheka Quarters, Kano.
He told the court that the defendants stole from her a Tecno Spark three phone valued at N28,000.
Mr Wada said the offences contravened the provisions of Sections 97, 343 and 287 of the Kano State Sharia Law.
Judge Khalid adjourned the matter until September 3, for further mention.
