SUNRISE – Can thieves be found also among beggars? A beggar, Binta Umar, on Tuesday accused a fellow beggar Hajara Kano, of stealing and assault and has dragged her to a Sharia Court ll sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna.
According to Umar, Kano stole her charity money given to her by a passer-by.
She alleged that when she confronted Kano about the matter, she beat her up and threw her into the gutter.
The complainant therefore prayed the court to grant her justice and punish Kano.
The defendant however was not in court to answer to the charges.
The Judge, Musa Sa’ad Goma, said the defendant had disobeyed the court by not appearing in court, which contravened Section 300 of Criminal Code.
The Judge ordered the immediate arrest of the defendant and adjourned the case until March 19.
