A 22-year-old man, Roheem Bello, was on Tuesday brought before an Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court in Isabo over alleged housebreaking and theft of valuables worth N3.07 million.
Prosecutor Insp. Opeyemi Lawal informed the court that the defendant broke into the homes of two residents on October 20 at Laderin Abeokuta, stealing items including electronic appliances, home furnishings, and construction tools.
Neighbors raised an alarm after spotting the suspect entering a residence through a window, leading to his immediate apprehension and handover to law enforcement officers.
Bello pleaded not guilty to the three-count charge of conspiracy, burglary, and stealing, which contravene the provisions of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State.
Magistrate O.T. Odubanjo granted the defendant bail in the sum of N1 million with one surety and ordered his remand at the Oba Correctional Centre pending perfection of his bail conditions.
