Two ladies, Elizabeth John, 33 and Oluwakemi Stephen, 18, have been arrested alongside a man, Jacob Adebayo, 30, for allegedly burgling a woman’s apartment and carting away $7,400 Dollars, which was kept in the house in Lagos State.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Emmanuel Keshi Street, Magodo Phase 2 area of Lagos, where the victim, Yetunde Adeyemi resides.
Their arrest followed a petition to the Commissioner of Police, who then directed the Special Squad to fish out the criminals, who carried out the dastardly act.
The operatives moved into action, tracked and eventually arrested the suspects and detained them at the Command for interrogation while other members of the gang were still at large.
After rounds of interrogation, the Police found them culpable and charged them before the Ogba Magistrates Court for conspiracy and stealing under the Criminal Laws of the State.
However, they pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Supol Akeem Raji, asked the Court to give a date for hearing since they pleaded not guilty to enable the Police to prove that they actually committed the alleged offence.
Thus, the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. B.O. Osunsanmi, granted them bail with sureties, who must show evidence of means of livelihood and tax payment while addresses verified by the Court.
The matter was adjourned for mention while the defendants were remanded in custody at the correctional center at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when they will perfect their bail conditions.
