A 45-year-old man, Dele Koyejo, has been arraigned before an Okitipupa Chief Magistrates’ Court, Ondo State, over the alleged theft of a motorcycle valued at N390,000.

The defendant, whose occupation and address were not given, is facing a two-count charge of felony and stealing.

The Police Prosecutor, ASP Zedekiah Orogbemi, told the court that the defendant and another, now at large committed the offence at about 7.00 p.m. on Dec. 16, 2023.

Ojuola ordered that the surety must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and should present evidence of two years tax payment to the Ondo State Government.

He adjourned the case until Feb. 26 for further hearing.
