Published

Court



A 50-year-old blind man, Abubakar Umar of Sabon Gida Kano road, on Monday prayed a Kaduna Sharia Court ll Magajin Gari, to recover his N350 and radio set from a repairs man.

Umar told the court that his radio set was the only friend he had and he was tired of going to the repairer’s shop seeking back his N350 and his radio set.

“I am a blind beggar, I suffered to raise that N350, he must give me back my money and radio set, he has betrayed the trust I had in him.

“I am tired of going to his shop. Sometimes he tells his boys to tell me that he has travelled and when I go to the shop, I hear his voice speaking softly.

The respondent, a 51-year-old Garba Abubakar of Sabon Gida Guragu Street Kano road Kaduna, who appeared in the court with the radio set, told the court that he delayed fixing the radio due to the unstable power supply.

“I fixed the radio set. I was only keeping it for him to come and get it.

”Umar has a temper. The last time he came to my shop, he began hitting everybody with his stick, I refused to give him the radio because of his last action”, he added.

After listening to their testimonies, the Judge, Musa Sa’ad-Goma, ordered Abubakar to tune the radio to a particular station, to see if the radio is working.
