The Ogudu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos on Friday ordered a security guard, Joshua Uzebor, remanded for sentencing for stealing a wheelbarrow and shovel.
The Magistrate, M.O. Tanimola, ordered Mr Uzebor, 28, to be remanded in Kirikiri prison custody following a guilty plea to conspiracy and stealing.
