UNEMPLOYED MAN IN COURT FOR ALLEGEDLY ATTEMPTING TO STEAL

On Monday, A 25-year-old unemployed man, Olumide Omoniyi, was charged with burglary and intent to commit felony but he pleaded not guilty to the charge in an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court.

The Prosecution Counsel, ASP Victor Eruada, had told the court that the defendant committed the offence on September 26 at No, 1, Olowookere Street, Orile-Agege, Lagos.

The offence, he said, flouted the provisions of Section 307 and 406 of Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The Magistrate, Mrs Folashade Oshikoya, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.

She adjourned the case to September 20 for mention.
