Friday said Tyokaan Maureen, from Apir junction, federal medical centre, Makurdi, lodged a complaint against Yughemba, who lived behind Towering tots primary school.

Upon arrival, she resisted arrest and forcefully stole a N150,000 cell phone from the officer.

The prosecutor added that Yughemba raised a false alarm, accusing the officer of being a kidnapper, and called on people to apprehend him. She then fled with the phone to an unknown destination.

During police investigation, she was arrested in connection with the alleged offences, which contravene Sections 171, 170, 95, and 146 of the Penal Code.

The prosecutor prayed for another date for mention, as investigation is still ongoing.

The court’s decision marks a significant step in addressing the alleged crimes and promoting public safety.
