During the court hearing, police officer Nevzat Gün, who works in the Nicosia Judicial Branch, presented the facts of the case.

Officer Gün stated that on October 15, 2024, at approximately 8:00 PM, the defendant was found in the Küçükkaymaklı district of Nicosia, on Meşe Street. During an immigration check, it was discovered that Nyamande had been living in the TRNC illegally since March 26, 2022, totaling 934 days.

The police confirmed that Nyamande was arrested in the act of committing the crime.

Officer Gün further stated that all necessary statements had been obtained and the investigation was completed.

After hearing the testimony, the defendant expressed her desire to return to her home country.

Judge Nuray Necdet, after considering the evidence, ordered that the defendant be sent to prison for a period not exceeding 20 days.
