Contempt: Court remands businesswoman in custody for five hours
A businesswoman, Fatimah Yunusa, was placed in custody by Murtala Nasir, a Judge, for five hours at a Sharia Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State for committing contempt and for her refusal to appear in court.
Yunusa was arraigned in court concerning a debt of N65, 450 being the cost of 77 crates of eggs she collected from the complainant since August but failed to pay.
Yunusa’s remand followed her refusal to appear in court several times, since Dec. 2,when the court summoned her for trial.
He also ordered that her movable property be sold to clear the debt after she accepted the charges against her and pleaded for time to pay back the money.
Earlier, the complainant, Mrs Didi Oche, through her counsel Z. Oche, had told the court that five months ago, his client sold 77 crates of eggs to Yunusa but she refused to pay.
The counsel had earlier told the court that each crate was sold to her at N850 but she refused to pay after several attempts.
“We, therefore, pray the court to recover the money for my client”.
