An Upper Area Court in Mpape, Abuja, on Thursday, ordered
that a 23-year-old driver, Okpanachi Emmanuel, be remanded in prison for
allegedly damaging his employer’s car valued at N12m. The Judge, Hassan
Mohammed, adjourned the case to May 8, for hearing.
The police charged Emmanuel, who resides at Kado, Abuja,
with criminal breach of trust and theft. The defendant, however, pleaded not
guilty to the charges.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Edwin Ochayi, told the court that
one Isaac Anumudu of Garki ll, Abuja, reported the matter at the Apo Police

The prosecutor said on that day, the defendant, who was
newly employed as a driver, while driving from the Apo Mechanic Village in a
motorcade, beat the traffic light, causing multiple accidents in Maitama,
Abuja. The prosecutor said the offence contravened Sections 311 and 286 of the
Penal Code.
