A 30-year-old man, Biola Titilayo, was arraigned before an Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court in Isabo on Friday for allegedly stealing a motorcycle valued at N1.35 million.
The defendant, who resides at No. 76 Sodeke area in Abeokuta, faces a two-count charge of obtaining by false pretence and stealing, to which he pleaded guilty.
