While the 16-year-old is missing, with the abductor claiming he returned him to Mubi, a town in the northern fringe of the state from where both boys travelled to Yola last month, the 17-year-old who is now with a guardian has been diagnosed with HIV.
The counsel to the accused, Friday Charles, had pleaded in his application for bail that the offence is bail able and that the accused is a Yola resident who had undertaken to be always present each time he is needed by either the court or the police. The magistrate presiding over the case at the Magistrate Court, Yola Town, Hon Jummai Ibrahim, ruled that the offence with which the accused was charged is not bailable as it is capital in nature, and therefore ordered that the accused be returned to prison custody, and adjourned further mention of the case to May 22, 2019.
The FIR added that the 17-year-old boy, Sani Fidelis, was found sick few days later and admitted into the Specialist Hospital in Yola, while the 16-year-old boy, Cosmos Martins, was missing.
