Justice Fatu Riman of the Federal High Court, Kano, has convicted one Bashir Musa of Hotoro Dan Marke Quarters of Kano City on two counts of personation and obtaining money by false pretence. The convict was arrested by Operatives the EFCC on August 27, 2012 following a petition by one Shetima Yusuf of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH) Quarters, Kano.



The complainant alleged that the convict had offered to sell to him, four plots of land which he claimed belonged to his father, Alhaji Musa Usman. Upon agreement, Shatima raised a First Bank Cheque of N600, 000. 00 and FCMB Cheque of N300, 000. 00 both dated 30th June, 2012 in favour of the convict, and promised to pay the balance of N600, 000.00 in seven days.

But to his dismay, the convict, Bashir Musa, informed him that the land had been sold by his father, but promised to give him another land. He later showed him another plot of land at Mariri Quarters for N2, 000, 000.00, for which the complainant paid an additional N1, 000,000, only to be told later that the land belongs to another person. He was however given an option of fine of N350, 000 on each count.

Crime pays only when you are yet to be caught.

Too bad
