A 24-year-old man, Kolawole Ayomiposi, was docked before Ado-Ekiti Chief Magistrate’s Court on Thursday over the alleged theft of two cell phones.
The defendant, of no fixed address, is standing trial on a charge of stealing.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Elijah Adejare, informed the court that the defendant committed the offense on February14 at about 12:00 noon at Fayose market in Ado-Ekiti.
He alleged that the defendant stole an Infinix Spark 6 phone valued at N45,000 and Infinix Hot 10 phone worth N50,000 belonging to the complainant, Olakehinde Ayomide.
Adejare said the offense contravened Section 302 of the Criminal Law of Ekiti State, 2021.
He urged the court to adjourn the case to enable him to study the file and assemble his witnesses.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against him.
Counsel to the defendant, Mrs Adeola Awe, urged the court to grant the defendant bail, with a promise that he would not jump bail.
Chief Magistrate Bankole Oluwasanmi granted the defendant N80,000 bail with one surety in like sum and adjourned the case until March 27 for hearing.
