Man remanded for stealing in Ibadan
A chief magistrates’ court in Iyaganku, Ibadan, on Tuesday ordered the remand of one Dauda Yusuf at the Agodi correctional facility over alleged burglary and stealing.
Mr Dauda, 28, of an undisclosed address, was docked on a three-count charge of conspiracy, breaking-in and entering, and stealing.
The chief magistrate, O. O. Ogunkanmi, ordered the remand of the defendant due to lack of jurisdiction.
Ms Ogunkanmi said the remand was pending the issuance of legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
She, thereafter, adjourned the matter till June 25 for mention.
The police prosecutor, Cpl. David Adepoju, had told the court that the defendant allegedly conspired with others at large to commit the offence.
Mr Adepoju said the defendant, between March 17 and 18, from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., allegedly with the intent to steal broke into the dwelling house of Peter Fayose.
Mr Mr Fayose was represented by Thomas Lucky.
The prosecutor said the defendant allegedly stole cable wires, sockets and switches and distribution board valued N5 million, and committed the offence at Orita Challenge in Ibadan.
He said the offences contravened sections 390 (9), 411 and 516 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.
