The police in Bauchi have arraigned three persons in court for allegedly vandalising property at the campaign office of the New Nigeria Peoples Party governorship candidate, Ambassador Shu’aibu Adamu.
The accused, Bashir Ahmed, Imrana Abubakar and Elisha Andrew, were arraigned before the Magistrate’s Court 1, in Bauchi.
Police prosecutor, Sergeant Lano Salihu, who presented the First Information Report to the court said they committed the offence in the early hours of December 31, 2018.
According to him, the suspects destroyed the billboards of the NNPP candidate and broke glasses at the frontage of the campaign office located at Bauchi GRA behind Zaranda Hotel and later abandoned the vehicle they used at the crime scene.
The prosecutor told the court that the damage done by the suspects was valued at N250,000, adding that the offence committed by the accused persons is contrary to Section 96 and 327 of the Penal Code.
He therefore urged the court to compel the accused to pay for the property they destroyed campaign secretariat.
The three suspects however, pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor urged the court to order the Divisional Police Officer, GRA Division, to transfer the vehicle allegedly used in committing the crime by the suspects to the custody of the court.
Lawyer to the accused, Barrister Abubakar Idris, applied for the bail of the three accused persons and objected to the transfer of the vehicle to be in the court’s custody as it had not been tendered as evidence.
