The Police on Tuesday, arraigned a 38-year-old woman, Umma Musa, at a Kano Sharia Court over alleged breach of trust and cheating.
Musa, who lives at Kuntau Quarters, Kano, is facing a two-count charge of criminal breach of trust and cheating.
The Prosecutor, Insp Abdullahi Wada, told the court that the complainant, Kabiru Sani-Yahaya, who resides at Gama Brigade Quarters, reported the matter at the Fagge Police Station, Kano, on March 29.
Wada said that the complainant entrusted the defendant with N200, 000 to keep for him with the intention of processing his Visa to Saudi Arabia.
He alleged that the complainant later discovered that the defendant converted the money to her personal use, and all efforts to get their money back proved abortive.
The prosecutor said the offences contravened the provisions of Sections 205 and 206 of the Penal Code.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Judge, Ismai’l Muhammad-Ahmed, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N30, 000 with one reliable surety in like sum.
Muhammad-Ahmed adjourned the case until April 17, for further mention.
