Marriage saga! The police has arraigned a 38yrs old civil servant, Cyril
Agochi, of Federal Government College, Keffi, before a Mararaba Upper
Area Court for stealing phone. Agochi is standing trial on a two-count
charge of criminal force and theft. The police prosecutor, Stephen
Kwaza, told the court that Doris Agochi of State House Quarters
Mararaba, reported the matter at the Sani Abacha Road Police Station,
Mararaba. Kwaza said that on Feb. 17 at
about 6pm, the accused who is her husband, came to
her house at the above address, beat her up and stole her phone valued
at N15, 000. The prosecutor said the offences contravened sections 265
and 288 of the Penal Code. The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to
the charges. The presiding judge, Mr Vincent Gwehemba, granted bail to
the accused in the sum of N50,000 and one surety in like sum. He said
that the surety must reside within the jurisdiction of the court and
must present one passport photograph or a National Identity Card. Mr
Gwehemba adjourned the case to June 6 for the husband's testimony.
