For allegedly stealing a
bag of clothes at a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) terminus, a 44-year-old woman,
Bolanle Awosika, on Thursday appeared before a Tinubu Magistrates’ Court in
Lagos.
Awosika,
of No. 14, Ajadi Lawal St., Ikorodu, Lagos, is facing a count charge.
She,
however, denied committing the offence.
The
prosecutor, Sgt. Daniel Ighodalo, told the court that Awosika committed the
offence at 3:00p.m., on 2 December, at a BRT terminus at Idumota on Lagos
Island.
He
said that the accused stole a sack containing male and female clothes valued at
N150,000.
The
prosecutor said that the clothes belonged to a trader, Mrs Christiana Olala.
According
to Ighodalo, Olala asked Awosika, who was in a queue with her, to assist her to
carry the sack.
Ighodalo
said: “By the time Olala returned, Awosika had disappeared with the sack of
clothes.”
The
prosecutor said that luck, however, ran out on the accused when the complainant
spotted her at the same bus stop on 9 December.
He
said that Olala raised an alarm which alerted passersby who apprehended Awosika
and handed her over to the police.
Ighodalo
said that the offence contravened Section 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos
State, 2011.
NAN
reports that Section 285 stipulates three years imprisonment for stealing.
The
Magistrate, Mrs O.M. Ajayi, granted the accused bail in the sum of N50,000 with
two sureties in like sum, and adjourned the case to 15 December for mention.
