The defendants, Abudulahi Abubakar, 48; Emmanuel Onuoha, 55; Mani Yahaya, 38; and Bashir Musa, 42; residents of Gwagwalada, Abuja, were charged with criminal conspiracy and theft.
The Prosecution Counsel, Mr Abudulahi Tanko, told the court that the complainant, Michael Sunday, reported the matter at the police station on Nov. 11, 2020.

Chief Magistrate Aliyu Shafa admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N100,000 each with one surety each in like sum.
Shafa ordered that the sureties must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and present means of identification.
He adjourned the case until March 4, for hearing.
