44-year-old man in court for diesel theft
The Ikeja Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday arraigned a 44-year-old man, Afeez Oriyomi, for the alleged theft of 460 litres of diesel worth N368,000.
Mr Oriyomi, whose address was not provided, is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing, to which he pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Insp. Funmi Akinleye said the defendant had, on July 28, in the Ikeja area of the state, conspired with others, now at large, to commit the crime.
Ms Akinleye told the court that the defendant stole 460 litres of diesel, worth N368,000, from Cent Door Limited.
She said the offences contravened sections 411, 280, and 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos, Nigeria, 2015.
The presiding magistrate, Oyenike Fajana, admitted the defendant to N100,000 bail and two sureties, who must be gainfully employed and have evidence of two years’ tax payment to the Lagos State government.
Ms Fajana adjourned the matter until August 29 for mention.
