The Prosecutor, Sgt. Raphael Donny, told the court that the accused committed the offence on May 3, at 2.30 p.m. at Kola Market, Alakuko, a Lagos suburb. He said that the accused went to the shop of one Kemi Falode to buy some materials and in the process stole the fabrics. “The accused was caught when he wanted to leave the shop and was handed over to the police,’’ Donny said. He said that the offence contravened Sections 285 and 306 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011. The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge. Adegun adjourned the case till June 17 for hearing.]]>
