The Amasaman Circuit Court has remanded a herdsman into police custody for allegedly stealing five cattle belonging to his employer.

Umaru Asumin, 38, pleaded not guilty to the offence.

He was denied bail because the court realised that he did not have a fixed place of abode and may not appear to stand trial when granted bail.

The court, presided over by Justice Enid Marful-Sau, High Court Judge with additional responsibility at the Circuit Court, asked that he be brought back on May 22, 2025.
