The prosecutor, Asp Rita Momah, told the court that the duo committed the offences on May 20 at Breadfield Company at No 52, Ikosi Road, Ketu, Lagos,
Ms Momah alleged that the duo and some others had conspired to steal baking materials worth N10 million and wilfully damaged the disk of closed-circuit television (CCTV).
