A 35-year-old man, Aminu Samaila, was yesterday arraigned before a Katsina State Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing two cows belonging to Gov. Ibrahim Shema.
Prosecutor Gyan David told the court in Dustsin-ma on Friday that Garba George, the Manager of Shema Farm, Dutsin-ma, Katsina, reported the matter to the police.
“Samaila was in charge of cows and rams in the farm. He stole two cows and one ram,” he said.

He said: “as the person taking care of the animals, I slaughtered them because they were about to die.”
Chief Magistrate Alhaji Nuraddeen Jikamshi asked the accused person if he understood the charge against him.
Jikamshi granted him bail in the sum of N50, 000 with a surety like sum.
He said that surety must reside in Dutsin-ma and adjourned the case to Aug. 29 for hearing. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
