The Surulere Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Lagos on Tuesday remanded a 31-year-old man, Sunday Ogbonna, in a correctional facility for allegedly stealing an umbrella and OX fan worth N90, 000.
Mr Ogbonna, whose address was not given, was charged with stealing. He, however, pleaded guilty to the charge.
The Chief Magistrate, Sadiq Bello, ordered the remand of the defendant and adjourned the case until March 24, for facts and sentencing.
The prosecutor, Courage Ekhueorohan, told the court the defendant committed the offence sometime in January at Teju-Osho Shopping Complex, Yaba, Lagos.
He said that Mr Ogbonna stole an umbrella worth N40,000 and an OX standing fan valued at N50,000 belonging to Aderayo Badmus.
Mr Ekhueorohan said the offence contravened Section 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
