He pled not guilty to the police accusation leveled against him. Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp. Benedict Aigbokhan, told the court that the defendant committed the alleged crime on August 14, at 2 p.m., at No. 32, Karimu Laka St., Lagos.

He said that the defendant stole the mobile phones from the location where they were kept.

According to Aigbokhan, the offense violated Section 287 of the Lagos State Criminal Law of 2015.

Mr E.O. Ogunkanmi, the Magistrate, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N300,000 with two sureties in the same amount.

He mandated that the sureties be gainfully employed and provide proof of tax payments to the Lagos State government.

Ogunkanmi adjourned the case until Oct. 8 for further consideration.
