A 38-year-old security guard, Francis Samaila was on Monday, docked in an Upper Area Court Kubwa, FCT, for alleged negligent conduct.

The Prosecution Counsel, Mr John Okpa told the court that the defendant was employed by the complainant, Mr Godswill Aadum as a security guard to safeguard items in Kubwa Plaza.

Okpa alleged that the defendant abandoned the plaza and as a result electrical cables worth N1 million, being the property of the complainant were stolen on March 7.

The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of section 198 of the Penal Code.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty.
