The defendants, Aminu Mohammed (27), Yauba Musa (25), Abubakar Mohammed (31), Halima Musa (21), and Amira Sani (23), residents of Gerio Village, Yola, faced charges of criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass, criminal intimidation, theft, causing grievous hurt, and possession of stolen property.

Pleading not guilty to the charges, the defendants were remanded in prison until February 7 for further police investigation by Chief Magistrate Awamem Fwa.

The court heard that Abdulrazak Abubakar, Chairman of the Gerio River Fish Basin in Yola, reported the incident on January 27. The defendants were accused of conspiring, trespassing into the Gerio River Fish Basin, and stealing various quantities of roasted and fresh fish with weapons.

As they attempted to escape, the security guard, Haruna Jada, raised an alarm but was beaten and injured. Stolen fish were discovered in possession of the fourth and fifth defendants during the police investigation.

Charges against the defendants contravene sections 79, 60, 333, 276, and 288 of the Adamawa State Penal Code Law of 2018. The prosecutor objected to bail, citing ongoing police investigation and the risk of jeopardizing the process if bail were granted. The Chief Magistrate remanded the suspects in the correctional center, adjourning the matter until February 7 for further hearing.
