A man in Adamawa State, Faisal Yusuf, has confessed to breaking into a cemetery in Yola to steal iron rods that he planned to sell to scrap dealers.

He says he is a student at a higher institution in Yola and comes from Mayo Belwa Local Government Area.

Security personnel caught him at night at a Christian cemetery in Yola while he was trying to pull out the iron rods around the graves.

They handed him to the Karewa Police Division.

He was later charged at the Chief Magistrate Court I in Yola with criminal trespass and attempted theft of the rods from Jimeta cemetery.

The court remanded him in custody.

While in detention, he appeared before the state Jail Delivery Committee, led by Chief Judge Justice Hafsat Abdulrahaman, and admitted to the offence.
