An unemployed man, Lawrence Yilna’an, 23, was on Monday arraigned in the Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, for allegedly breaking into a dwelling house and stealing.
Mr Yilna’an is facing a four-count charge bordering on conspiracy, breaking into a dwelling house, entering and stealing.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The prosecuting counsel, DSP Sunday Fatola, told the court that the defendant and others, now at large, allegedly conspired together to commit the offences.
Mr Fatola said the defendant, on December 7, 2024, at about 10:00 a.m., allegedly broke in and entered the dwelling house of one Nasirudeen Olanihun to steal.
He said the defendant allegedly stole a cross bag, wristwatches, three gold necklaces with pendants and perfume valued at N990,000 property of the complainant.
The prosecutor said the offences were committed at No. 14, Abimbade Onigbiyo Street, Ashi Bodija, Ibadan.
He said the offences contravened sections 390 (9), 412 and 516 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.
The magistrate, S. I. Babalola, admitted the defendant to N500,000 bail with one surety in like sum.
She adjourned the case until March 25 for a hearing.
