The defendant, whose address is unknown, is being charged with stealing and a breach of the peace.

The Chief Magistrate, Nurudeen Layeni, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Mr Layeni said that one of the sureties must be self- employed.
He adjourned the case until September 3 for mention.
