В Абудже охранника обвинили в краже и уничтожении генератора на сумму 40 тысяч найр

A security guard, Gabriel Amos, was on Wednesday docked in a Dutse Magistrates’ Court in Abuja, for allegedly destroying his employer’s generator set. Amos, who resides in Kubwa, Abuja, is charged with theft by servant. The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge. The Prosecuting Counsel, Mr Otobha Okpa, told the court that Amos committed the offence on Oct. 20, 2025. Okpa said one Mr Desmond Atanegbe, reported the matter at the Dutse Alhaji Police Station. The defendant, the police said, was employed as a security guard at ‘K1’ Estate, Kubwa, in July 2025, three months before the alleged offence. He said Amos was paid N40,000 monthly and was responsible for manning the estate gate and securing the premises. The prosecutor alleged that on Oct. 20, Atanegbe discovered that the generator serving the entire estate had been destroyed and some parts stolen. He said during police investigation, the defendant admitted to removing the parts. He said the offence contravened the provisions of Section 289 of the Penal Code Law. The Senior Magistrate, Mrs Evelyn Dara, admitted Amos to bail in the sum of N150,000 with one surety in like sum. Dara ordered that the surety must have a reliable means of identification and reside within the jurisdiction of the court. The magistrate adjourned the matter until Sept. 22 for further hearing.(NAN).
