“We later discovered that the land belonged to someone else who started erecting a building on it and all efforts made to reach the defendant proved abortive.

“That is why I came to this honourable court to assist me retrieve my land or my money from the defendant,” he said.

The defendant, who pleaded guilty to the charge of breach of trust, pleaded for leniency and pledged to refund the N300,000 to the complainant. (NAN)
