However, the alleged theft was reported to FSARS, who moved into action, arrested the two suspects and recovered the vehicle.

The prosecutor, Supol Peter Nwaogwugwu, then asked the Court to give a date for hearing to enable the Police to prove that they actually committed the offence.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. Y.O. Aje-Afunwa, granted the suspects bail in the sum of N600,000 with two sureties in like sum.
However, they were remanded in prison custody pending when they will perfect their bail conditions. The matter was adjourned till 17th March, 2020.
