"A summon for a criminal breach of trust was given to Adamawa Lawyer, Sani Shehu Mohammed by Upper Area Court No.4 Yola for refusing to pay Talatu Aliyu, a plaintiff of the originating Summon.

"The summons represented to this medium was read that Talatu is a businesswoman and Sani a Politician is demanding a payment of two million one hundred and fifty thousand naira (N2.150,000).
"The plaintiff in the summons said Sani demanded one Million four hundred thousand (N1,400,000) which she transferred in tranches and collected clothes on loan for his wedding but refused to pay.
"Talatu out of trust gave him the money that he promised to pay within the shortest period but only to insult her whenever she asked for it.
"The court ordered the Honorable Sani Shehu Mohammed to pay N204,000, N1,400,000, and N500,000 as the purchased price, borrowed Money, and damages incurred.
"The total amount the plaintiff is demanding is 2,104,000 which she said Sani defrauded her and wants justice to prevail.
"This medium consulted Talatu over the court summons and worried that the Nigerian Barr Association (NBA) is complacent about some of the dubious attitudes of some lawyers like Shehu.

"Disturbed over the matter, an indigene of Maiha Local Government area of Adamawa State, Suleiman Abdullahi Maiha alleged that Sani has been a serial fraudster using his law background to cheat on unsuspecting members of the public.
"He alleged that Sani while serving as a member of the state Assembly, defrauded senior civil servants for getting them a Permanent Secretary appointment.
"He enjoined the members of the general public to be wary of having any business deal with of whatsoever type and under whichever guise.
"Suleiman who is a public commentator worried that Sani has breached the ethics of Law practice and as an Honorable member to have represented the good people of Mubi North is condemnable.
"He said Sani has committed gross criminal offenses as a practicing Lawyer and a former Lawmaker.
"He called on the NBA to sanction him and the University of Maiduguri to withdraw his law certificate because all he does is against the principles of an ideal Lawyer.
""This Man over the years nothing he has done than defraud the unsuspecting members of the general public as a lawyer.
""Worst of it all he has never won a single case of whatever type, as a lawyer that is supposed to speak well, but Sani is one of those learned colleagues that is destroying the Queen's language with his unsound English terms, proud cement as a supposed lawyer," Suleiman said"
