A 27-year-old man, Michael Movie, was on Tuesday arraigned before an Ojo Magistrates’ Court in Lagos, for allegedly stealing 50 television sets, and money meant for their repairs.
The defendant is standing trial before Magistrate Lateef Layeni, on a two-count charge bordering on conspiracy and stealing.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The prosecutor, SP Simon Uche, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on June 22, at St. Peter Road in Ojo, Alaba.
He alleged that the defendant conspired with others, now at large, to steal 50 different television sets which values are yet to be determined.
