A 27-year-old man, Adewale Ogundeji, appeared before the Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, facing charges of house breaking and theft, including the alleged stealing of a pot of soup.
Ogundeji, whose residential address was not disclosed, pleaded not guilty to the charges. The incident allegedly occurred on July 6 at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Balogun Road, Oke Ibadan, near Oje market.
Prosecutor ASP Anthony Igori informed the court that Ogundeji is accused of breaking into the residence of Mrs. Tobiyat Yusuf, from where he allegedly stole a pot of soup, N20,000 in cash, an MP3 player, and a memory card, among other items. These actions reportedly violate Sections 411 and 390 (9) of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
Presiding Magistrate Olaolu Olanipekun granted Ogundeji bail set at N100,000, with one surety in the same amount. The case is scheduled for hearing on July 25.
