A Grade I Area Court, Kubwa, on Thursday ordered that a 26-year-old man, Emmanuel Uka who allegedly stole “Brazilian hair extensions”, be remanded in a correctional facility.
The police charged Uka, who lives in Kagini, Abuja with criminal trespass, housebreaking and theft.
The Judge, Mr Muhammad Adamu, adjourned the case until Nov.4 for hearing.

The prosecution counsel said the offence contravened the provisions of sections 342, 346 and 288 of the Penal Code.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
The defence counsel, Taiye Okoya, however, made a bail application for his client saying he was presumed innocent until proven guilty and urged the court to grant bail.
The prosecution counsel opposed the bail saying that the defendant may commit another offence if granted bail.
He said the defendant committed the alleged offence in 2019 and is facing a similar charge in another court.
