Five arraigned by Dss over N2m theft

Five persons were, yesterday, arraigned before an Evboriaria Magistrate’s Court, Benin, by the Department of State Services, DSS, for allegedly stealing N2,090,000 belonging to one Suberu Shaibu.
The five suspects, Murktar Shuaibu, Kabiru Shuaibu, Abdul Momoh, Enesi Jamiu and Abubakar Lawal, were arraigned for stealing.
However, pleas of the suspects were not taken as they were alleged to have committed the offence on June 28 in Benin.

The prosecutor’s counsel, E. Aubrey, applied for the suspects to be remanded in the DSS custody, pending when the bail application was heard.
Presiding magistrate, Frank Idiake, said bail would be considered in the course of trial and remanded the suspects in DSS custody.
The case was adjourned to August 10.
