A man in Adamawa State has been arraigned for dressing as a woman to trick men out of their money.

The man, Muhammed Abubakar, said he routinely dressed in women's clothes and go out with female friends to obtain money from men needing romance.

Muhammed who holds a Diploma in Business Management from the Adamawa State Polytechnic, Yola, said his female collaborators gave him between N500 and N1,500 daily as his share of their loot.

Muhammed, who said he adopted the female name of Fadi, told the Chief Magistrate Court in Girei where he was arraigned, that his female accomplices used to protect him each time any man wanted to have him, by telling the man that she (he) was in her menstrual period.

Our correspondent learnt yesterday that Muhammed's game ended on November 16, at Girei market where he went to buy an ear ring and was seen by a man who suspected that he was a man.

The suspicious man raised the alarm and he was arrested.

The court presided over by Martina Gregory ordered that he be remanded until December 5.
