A 38-year-old guard,
Micheal Aniefie, who allegedly stole seven cans of drinks valued at N700 was on
Tuesday remanded in prison pending the fulfilment of his bail conditions.
An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court, which gave the
ruling, directed that the accused should be kept in Kirikiri Prisons.
The Magistrate, Mr A.A. Adesanya, had granted
the accused bail in the sum of N5, 000 with one surety in like sum.
Aniefie, however, could not immediately meet
the bail condition and was remanded in prison.
The accused, a resident of Agege area of Lagos, is being
tried for stealing.
The Prosecutor, Insp.
George Nwosu, told the court that the accused committed the offence on July 31
at Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos.
Nwosu said that the accused stole seven cans of
Orijin Zero drinks valued at N700, products of Guinness Nigeria Plc.
“The accused stole seven can of drinks from the
warehouse,” he said.
Nwosu said that the accused was caught with
those drinks when he was searched at the end of his shift.
“When the accused was intercepted at the gate
and searched, seven can of Orijin drinks were found in his bag,” he said.
Nwosu said the offence contravened Section 285
of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Section 285 provides that if convicted, the
accused is liable to three years imprisonment.
