Samuel Udofia, 22, was on Friday arraigned before an Ojo Magistrates’ Court, Lagos State, over allegations of burglary and theft.
The defendant is standing trial on a four-count charge of conspiracy, burglary, stealing and causing breach of peace.
He, however, pleaded not guilty before the Magistrate, L.J.K. Layeni.
The prosecutor, Dr Simon Uche, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on July 1, at Alaba International Market, Ojo, Lagos.

According to the prosecutor, the shop belonged to a trader, Obiora Emone.
He said that the defendant stole two HP laptops worth N520,000, a power generator worth N350,000, and N60,000 cash.
The prosecutor added that on the same date, the defendant conducted himself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace.
