A Chief Magistrates’ Court in the Kafanchan area of Kaduna State, on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, remanded a 50-year-old man, Haruna Adamu, for stealing 160 cattle and 24 goats.
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) is prosecuting Adamu on charges of criminal misappropriation and theft.
The NSCDC prosecutor, Marcus Audu, told the court that the complainant, Manasseh Tuckson, reported the matter at the Corps’ office on April 22, 2024.
Audu said the complainant entrusted 160 cattle and 24 goats in the hands of the defendant for rearing sequel to an agreement between the parties.
The prosecutor, however, did not give the estimated value of the livestock.

He said during the 2011 Kafanchan crisis, the defendant made away with all the livestock, the three grinding machines in his custody, and N350,000 given to him to buy land to rear the livestock.
Audu added that the offences contravened sections 294 and 272 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law, 2017.
The Chief Magistrate, Samson Kwasu, did not take the plea of the defendant for lack of jurisdiction to entertain the matter.
Kwasu directed the prosecutor to forward the case file to the State Director of Public Prosecution for legal advice.
He, thereafter, adjourned the matter until March 13 for further mention.
