A Karu Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja on Tuesday remanded a 29-year-old man, Sunday Sudan, in prison for alleged mischief and theft.
The judge, Umar Mayana, ordered the remand of the defendant until March 3 to determine his bail condition.
The defendant who resides at Kuruduma 2, Asokoro was arraigned on a five-count charge of criminal conspiracy, mischief, theft, criminal intimidation and public nuisance.
Sudan, however, denied committing the offence.
