The police on Thursday arraigned 14 suspected criminals including prostitutes before a Magajin Gari Sharia Court in Kaduna.
The police prosecutor, Bitrus Koji, while arraigning the suspects, told the court that a police patrol team on November 30 at about midnight, arrested the suspects at Obalende, a “black spot” located on Maiduguri Road in the city.
The prosecutor alleged that hard drugs, including Solution, Indian hemp and alcoholic drinks were found on the suspects when they were arrested.
He said their alleged offence was contrary to section 405 of the Penal Code Law.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that only three of the suspects pleaded guilty when their pleas were taken, while the 11 others denied the charges against them.
The presiding officer, Khadi Ibrahim Mohammad, granted the suspects bail and adjourned the case till November 14, 2013, for continuation of hearing.
