One Adewoga Adeyemi, 21, on Thursday appeared before an Iyaganku Magistrate’s Court, Ibadan, for allegedly stealing N42,000.

Adeyemi, whose address was not provided, is charged with theft.

The Prosecutor, Insp. Gbemi Adedeji, told the court that Adeyemi committed the offence on Nov. 16, at 10. 30 am, at the Okeado area of Ibadan.

Adedeji alleged that the defendant stole the money from one Mr Gabriel Olanipekun, in contravention of Section 390(9) of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The Magistrate, Mrs Adebola Adeola, granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety.

Adeola adjourned the case until Feb. 26, 2024, for hearing.
