Police operatives from Intelligence Rapid Team, Ikeja, Lagos, have arrested two ladies namely Bassey Rassinie, 28 and Shola Rofiya, 42, for allegedly stealing over N30m worth of gold jewelries belonging to one Mubarak Awopeju.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Adekoya Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, where the owner resides.
The Police did not state the relationship between the suspects and the complainant for the suspects to have gained access where he kept the items and escaped.
Rather, the Police alleged that Rassine and Shola conspired and stole gold jewelries and wrist watch belonging to the complainant.
When the complainant realised that the items were missing, he reported to the Police. The suspects were trailed, eventually arrested and detained for interrogation.
After interrogation, the Police found him culpable and later charged before the Ogba Magistrates Court for conspiracy and stealing.
They pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, Supol Benson Emerhi, then asked the Court to fix a date for hearing since they pleaded not guilty to enable the Police to prove that they actually committed the offence.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. O. Sule-Amzat, granted them bail in the sum of N10m with two sureties in like sum.
They were remanded in prison custody pending when they will perfect their bail conditions. The matter was adjourned till 2nd December, 2019.
