of stealing from one Felix Nwibo.
The prosecutor, Insp. Ignatius Okeke, told the
court that the accused, with others at large,

the phone and money. He said that they took off
after committing the act, but ran into a police
patrol team, which arrested the accused.
Okeke said that the offence contravened section

accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the
charge.
The magistrate, Mr. A. Adefulire, granted the
accused a bail of N10,000 and adjourned the case
