The Police in Lagos has arraigned a 25-year-old man, Emmanuel Chibuzor, before an Ojo Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for alleged theft of a solar inverter.
The defendant is charged on one count of stealing and he was arraigned before the Magistrate Ademola Adesanya. He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Prosecutor, Asp. Simeon Uche, told the court that the defendant committed the offence in March 2020, at Lawrence Okonkwo Close, Opposite Ojo Barracks, in Lagos.
Uche alleged that the defendant stole the solar inverter valued at N310,000, from the custody of a complainant, one Alphonsus Okonkwo.

The court, however, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N150,000 with two sureties in like sum. He adjourned the case until Feb. 11, 2022 for mention.
