Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Sgt. Kayode Rhoda informed the court that Daniel was arrested on December 31, 2019, by the troops of the 22 Armoured Brigade Sobi, Kwara while on patrol.
He also alleged that Daniel extorted money from innocent citizens by using the name and logo of the Nigeria Army Officers Wives Association without any approval from the military authority.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the alleged offence.
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the provisions of sections 132 and 322 of the Penal Code Law.
