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.
