A 22-year-old man, Kehinde Ahmed, who allegedly stole aluminium roofing sheets valued N420, 000, was on Wednesday brought before an Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun.
Ahmed, whose address was not stated, is facing a two-count charge of stealing and conspiracy.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Chudu Gbesi, told the court that the accused and others still at large, committed the offences on March 16 at about 3.40 p.m at Ogun State Housing Corporation, Ota.
Gbesi said that the accused and his accomplices conspired to steal aluminium roofing sheets valued N420, 000 belonging to Kolawole Adelekan.
The prosecutor said that the accused was caught committing the crime and was handed over to the police.
He said that the offences contravened Sections 390(9) and 516 of Criminal Code Laws of Ogun, 2006.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Senior Magistrate, Mr S.O. Banwo, admitted the accused to bail of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Banwo said that the sureties must be residing within the court’s jurisdiction and should be gainfully employed.
He also said that the sureties should swear to an affidavit of means and produce evidence of tax payment to Ogun Government.
The senior magistrate adjourned the case to April 20 for hearing.
