Two security guards, Haruna Moses, and Abdulhamid Lawal, have appeared before a Chief Magistrates’ Court Wuse Zone 6, Abuja, over negligence at their security duty post.

He alleged that due to negligence, six unknown men entered their beat and stole 16 160-DHR batteries belonging to the IHS Internet Providers.

Ejike also explained that the first defendant reported the matter to the Divisional Police Station Wuse Zone 3, Abuja.

The Magistrate Ahmed Ndajiwo B. Ndajiwo admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N100,000 and one reasonable surety each and adjourned the case till 29th April, 2020 for hearing.
