A 34-year-old employee of Setraco Construction Company Nigeria, Solomon Shekonyan, was arraigned on Tuesday before the Life Camp Chief Magistrates’ Court in Abuja for stealing his employer’s TV, valued at ₦600,000.

The police charged Mr Shekonyan with theft.

The prosecution counsel, Charity Nwachukwu, told the court that the complainant, Mohammad Abdullahi of Setraco Construction Company, Life Camp, Abuja, reported the matter at the Life Camp Police Station on July 17.

Ms Nwachukwu told the court that at about 4:08 p.m., while leaving the company premises, he stole one LG plasma television with serial number 204FN2woo189 valued at N600,000.

The prosecutor stated that the company alleged the defendant was responsible for other missing items from the company.

Ms Nwachukwu said the offence contravened the provision of Section 289 of the penal code.

However, Mr Shekonyan pleaded not guilty to the allegations levelled against him and told the court he had nothing to say about it.

Chief magistrate Musa Jobbo admitted the defendant to bail of N500,000 and one surety in like sum.

Mr Jobbo said the surety must reside within the jurisdiction of the court and must have a reliable means of identification.

He adjourned the case until September 17 for a hearing.
