A 40-year-old vulcanizer, Mohammed Ibrahim, was on Thursday docked in an Upper Area Court in Gwagwalada, FCT for allegedly receiving a stolen bicycle from a minor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The police charged Ibrahim who resides in Chukuku village Kuje, FCT, with receiving stolen property.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Prosecution Counsel, S.K. Iyakwo told the court that Mr Sunday John of Old Kutunku Gwagwalada Abuja, reported the matter at the police station on April 2.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Iyakwo said that on March 10 a minor, 16, stole the complainant\u2019s bicycle worth N35,000 and sold it to the defendant for N6,000.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said that during police investigation the stolen bicycle was recovered from the defendant.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the provision of Section 316 of the Penal Code.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Defence Counsel, Mr Ayam Micheal, in an oral bail application prayed the court to grant his client bail in the most liberal terms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Michael cited Section 158, 161 and 162 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) to buttress his claims for bail.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Judge, Malam Abdullahi Abdulkarim, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He ordered that the surety must reside within the jurisdiction of the court and adjourned the case until May 3 for hearing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
