Anywau is facing a two count charge of conspiracy and stealing.
The police prosecutor Sergeant Chinedu Njoku, told the court that the defendant and two others awaiting trial at Igbosere Magistrate, court 2, conspired to commit the alleged offence.
Njoku said the incident took place at D5, Millenium Estate, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, between the month of July 2019 and October 26, 2019.
He said that the jewelries that was stolen, are property of Justice Bola Okikiolu-Ighile.
The defendant however pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Egem and Emmanuel were earlier arraigned over the same offence on October 31, 2019.
But the charge was consolidated in other for Anyanwu, to take her plea.
The prosecutor had told the court that the Egem and Emmanuel as security guard, failed to use every reasonable means to prevent felony.
