Judiciary
THE Police in Bauchi on Thursday arraigned a 76-year-old man, Bala Mohammed, before Chief Magistrate Court 5 for allegedly posting pictures of women on Facebook.
Mohammed, a resident of Tambari Housing Estate, was charged with defamation of character.
The prosecutor, ASP Zakari Mohammed, informed the court that the offense occurred in October 2024, when the defendant posted pictures of several women, claiming they were his girlfriends with whom he had sexual relationships.
The complainant (name withheld) however, stated that she had merely taken a selfie with the defendant and had no affair with him.
The prosecutor argued that the defendant’s actions violated sections 183, 196, 388, and 389 of the Bauchi State Penal Code 2022.
The Magistrate, Mrs Laraba Hamisu remanded the defendant at the Bauchi Correctional Centre and adjourned the case to November 27, 2024, to allow for further investigation. (NAN)
