A 27-year-old man, Muktar Shehu, is arraigned in Adamawa State over allegations that he stole 27 pieces of a woman’s underwear. Police say he confessed to taking the items for ritual purposes, and he is being held in custody pending the outcome of the case.
Shehu, a resident of Zango Ward in Jimeta, Yola North Local Government Area, appears before Chief Magistrate Court 3 in Yola after being charged by the Adamawa State Police Command. Prosecutors accuse him of house trespass, theft, and possession of criminal charms. Police allege he broke into the home of Halima Yakubu on August 6, 2026, and took the underwear.
Across the outlets, the reports align on the main facts: the suspect’s age and identity, the number of items allegedly stolen, the alleged victim, the court in Yola, and the police claim that the theft is linked to ritual use. Both also describe the matter as ongoing, with Shehu remanded in custody as court proceedings continue.
