Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp. Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the case was reported on September 17 by a police officer from the anti-kidnapping unit in Jos.

Gokwat said the convict was given the motorcycle to wash but he absconded with it.

He said the offence contravened the Plateau State Penal Code Law.
