A 33-year-old man named Stanley Julius has been remanded in a corrections center on allegations of armed robbery by the Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court.
Julius, who resides in Ungwan Sarki Malali, Kaduna and is currently unemployed, is facing charges of conspiracy, robbery, and unlawful possession of stolen property brought by the police.
The Magistrate handling the case, Ibrahim Emmanuel, did not allow Julius to enter a plea. The case has been adjourned until May 22 for mention and to receive legal advice from the state Director of Public Prosecution, DPP.
According to the Prosecutor, Insp Chidi Leo, the offence took place on April 11 at Kinkinau Kaduna, where Julius and others allegedly robbed Mr. Eric Daniel of his iPhone valued at N380,000 and Samsung S6 valued at N180,000 at gunpoint in his residence.
Leo explained that Julius and his accomplices, armed with a locally made gun, forcefully entered the complainant’s house, robbed him, and his family.
The prosecutor mentioned that the complainant’s missing mobile phones were traced back to the suspect, and the alleged actions contravene the provisions of the Penal Code of Kaduna State, 2017.
