An 18-year-old boy, Tasiu Shaibu, on Wednesday, appeared before an Abeokuta magistrate court sitting in Isabo, Ogun, after he was charged with stealing a girl’s pants.
The prosecutor, Insp. Lawrence Balogun, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Dec. 20, 2018, when he removed the pants from the wall where they were spread and stuffed them into his pocket.
The prosecutor said the girl’s parent, who saw Shaibu steal the pants, raised an alarm which attracted neighbours and they apprehended the accused and handed him over to the police.
However, the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The magistrate, Olakulehin Oke, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety and adjourned the matter until May, 3 for trial. (NAN)
