Also testifying, another applicant, Kefas Williams, said the accused collected N170,000, for his (Williams) enlistment in the Army.
Another applicant, Danlami Giwa, told the court that he gave the accused N170,000 to prepare a “charm’’ for him to aid his enlistment in the Army.He said he did not hear anything from the accused thereafter.
After listening to the testimonies of the witnesses, the magistrate, Mr Jeremiah Danladi, adjourned the case until April 14, for further hearing.
