The Prosecutor, Sgt.Friday Kanshio told the court that the case was reported at the ‘B’ Division, Makurdi on June 5, 2020 by Mrs Deborah Omachi of Idye Village, Makurdi.

He said that the offence contravened Section 284 of the Penal Code of Benue, 2004.

Kanshio urged the court to adjourn the case to enable him conclude the investigation and assemble his witnesses.

The court did not take the plea of the defendant for lack of jurisdiction.

The Magistrate, Mr Isaac Ajim, however, ordered that the defendant should be remanded at a Correctional Centre.

Ajim adjourned the case to Aug 28 for mention.
