The defendant, an applicant, whose house address was not provided, was arraigned before Magistrate S.Odukoya, on a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing.

The Prosecution Counsel, Esther Adesulu, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on June 1, alleging that the stolen motorcycle was valued at N350,000.
