The police arraigned two sales representatives, Uche Ezeigbo and Chika Onwuka, aged 24 and 29 respectively before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court presided over by M.O. Tanimola for allegedly stealing adult pampers and mersilene tapes worth N20 million.

The defendants, whose residential addresses were not provided, are charged on Monday with three counts of conspiracy, breach of peace and theft.

Koti told the court that the defendants committed the offence with others at large on June 27, 2016 at No. 44 Moshalashi St., Mushin, Lagos.

According to Nigerian Constitution, stealing from an employer attracts seven years jail term, Section 411 stipulates two years while 168 prescribes six months for offenders.

The judge ordered that the sureties must be gainfully employed with an evidence of two years tax payment to the Lagos State Government and have their addresses verified by the court.

She added that the sureties must live within the court’s jurisdiction and adjourned the case until Nov. 4 for mention.
