A
35-year-old man, Abubakar Adamu, has been remanded in prison by the Chief
Magistrate’s Court in Gombe for allegedly insulting the state Governor, Ibrahim
Dankwambo, and the governor’s mother.
The civil
servant with the State Ministry of Higher Education was sued by one Inuwa
Dattijo, a.k.a. D. J. Maitaya, of the State Agency for Social Services, who
alleged that the accused person sent him an audio clip containing insults
directed at the governor and his mother.
The police
prosecutor, Inspector Habibu Danjuma, informed the court that when the accused
person was asked to name the purported sender of the message, he failed to give
a satisfactory account of the said information.
Danjuma
said, “The accused person was charged with one count of fabricating false
evidence, an offence that contravened Section 156 of the Penal Code Law.’’
The court
did not take the plea of the accused person.
After
listening to Adamu, the presiding judge, Chief Magistrate Japhet Maida, ordered
that the accused person be remanded in prison custody.
The case
was adjourned till Tuesday, September 26.
