Six men were charged by the police on Friday in Lagos state’s Ojo Magistrates’ Court for allegedly breaking into a complex with the intent to steal.
Salisu Musa, age 36; Awolu Isa, age 48; Sanni Ibrahim, age 28; Suraju Yunusa, age 36; Habibu Yunus, age 28; and Usman Musa, age 28 are the defendants.
The six are on trial before Magistrate L.K.J. Layeni on five counts of theft and burglary-related offenses.
However, they each entered a not guilty plea to the accusation.
The defendants arranged to perpetrate the crime on September 4 in the Abule Osun neighborhood of Ojo, Lagos, according to the prosecutor, Simon Uche, who testified in court.
Uche said that the defendants and other fugitives broke into a complainant’s home, one Chigbo Udezuruigbo, in order to steal.
