Mr Ashiru, whose address was not provided, is standing trial on a two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and stealing.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecutor, Insp. Elisha Tellang, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on November 10 at approximately 1:00 a.m. at Iwo Road in Ibadan.
He alleged that the defendant and others at large conspired to steal three bags of nails worth N90,000 belonging to one Adebayo Bayonle Enterprise.
