The police charged Abdullahi Hamza, 21, and Mujahid Suleiman, 20, with criminal conspiracy, trespass and theft.
The defendants pleaded not guilty to stealing the Infinix phone worth N56,000 and a keypad worth N4,700.
The judge, Ismail Muhammad Ahmed, ordered that the defendants be remanded until June 6.
