The police in Adamawa State have arrested a young man identified as Isa Abdullahi for stealing his girlfriend’s mobile phone valued at N60,000 in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, and selling it off and converting the proceeds to his personal use.

He was subsequently trailed and arrested by police operatives attached to Doubeli Police Station before 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, where he pleaded guilty to the offences of theft and misappropriation.

While appearing before the committee, he admitted stealing his girlfriend’s mobile phone and expressed regret over his actions.

He promised to replace the stolen handset if he eventually regained his freedom from prison custody.
