Yahoo Yahoo Housewife Imprisoned
In Kano For Duping Job Applicants Of N810K
Habibat Abubakar, a Kano Chief Magistrates’ Court has
remanded a 35-year-old housewife in prison.
She was charged with allegedly collecting N810, 000 from
applicants on the pretext of securing jobs for them.
Chief Magistrate Muhammad Idris, who gave the ruling,
said the accused should remain behind bars until the next
date of adjournment.
Habitat, who lives in Babugaje Kumbotso Local
Government, is standing trial on a two-count charge of
alleged cheating and forgery.
She, however, denied the charge.
The prosecutor, Badamasi Gawuna, had told the court that
a woman, Fatima Tijjani and 11 others of different
addresses, reported the accused at Kano State Public
Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission on September
6.
He alleged that sometime in July the accused fraudulently
collected N810,000 from the complainants with a promise
to help them secure jobs.
Habibat promised the complainants jobs at Kano State
Senior Secondary School Management Board, he said.
Gawuna alleged that the accused gave three offers and
letters of posting to some of the complainants, which were
believed to have been forged.
The offences contravene sections 320 and 363 of the
Penal Code.
