Police arraign driver for stealing cashew nuts
A 31-year-old driver, Seun Shittu, was on Wednesday docked in the Ojo Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for allegedly stealing 35 bags of cashew nuts.
The police charged Mr Shittu with two counts of conspiracy and theft before Magistrate L K J Layeni.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecutor, Simon Uche, told the court that the defendant committed the offence sometime in May in the Abule-Osun Area of Ojo.
He alleged that the defendant, being the driver for MEDLOG Logistics Company, was entrusted with 35 bags of cashew nuts to convey to the company’s terminal in Ikorodu.
The police said the defendant conspired with others at large and stole the consignment.
He said the offence contravened sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.
Magistrate Layeni admitted the defendant to N500,000 bail with two sureties.
He adjourned the case until November 29 for trial.
