The police in Adamawa State have arrested a younger man recognized as Isa Abdullahi for stealing his girlfriend’s cell phone valued at N60,000 in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, and promoting it off and changing the proceeds to his private use.

Police sources say his arrest adopted a proper grievance lodged by his girlfriend, who reported the theft on the police station.

He was subsequently trailed and arrested by police operatives hooked up to Doubeli Police Station earlier than being arraigned at Chief Magistrate Court No. 2, presided over by Chief Magistrate Zainab Buba.

The defendant was arraigned by Inspector Kabiru Abubakar of Doubeli Police Station, the place he pleaded responsible to the offences of theft and misappropriation.

On Wednesday, Isa appeared earlier than the Adamawa State Jail Delivery Committee, chaired by the Chief Judge of the state, Hon. Justice Hafsat Abdulrahaman.

While showing earlier than the committee, he admitted stealing his girlfriend’s cell phone and expressed remorse over his actions.

He promised to switch the stolen handset if he ultimately regained his freedom from jail custody.
