A 37-year-old man, Godwin Idumu, on Monday appeared before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing four bibles valued at N72,230 from a supermarket.
The defendant, a sales representative who resides at 9 Emmanuel St., Maryland, Lagos, is being tried for defilement and stealing.
The prosecutor, Insp Felicia Okwori, told the court that the offences were committed on December. 4, 2021, and June 3, 2022, at Ebeano Supermarket, located at G.R.A, Ikeja.
