Girlfriends I stole for abandoned me – Convict
The 25-year-old man, Suleiman Idi from Ngurore in Yola South Local Government Area, is serving a jail term at the Yolde Pate Correctional Centre. He had occasion over the weekend to tell his story.
Idi who was arrested in June 2026 was arraigned before the Ngurore Area Court which sentenced him to six years’ imprisonment, and was on June 22, 2026, sent to serve the term at the Yolde Pate correctional facility.
Luck, however, came his way on Friday, October 23, 2026 when the Adamawa State Jail Delivery Committee reviewed his six-year sentence to two years.
Appearing before the committee headed by the state Chief Judge, Justice Hafsat Abdulrahaman, Idi admitted to committing the N700,000 theft and using the money to buy two mobile phones for his girlfriends whom he identified simply as Aisha and Asabe, both residents of Ngurore.
