The police on Friday arraigned two applicants, Oluwaseyi Olawale,30 and Abdullahi Yusuf, 36, in an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court, for allegedly stealing 115 laptop computers valued at N1.5 million.According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the Police Counsel, ASP Akeem Raji, told the court that the defendants with others at large, committed the offence on May 9, at about 1 p.m. at Computer Village in Ikeja, Lagos State. The defendants, whose addresses were not given, are charged with conspiracy and theft.
Raji alleged that the defendants entered a store belonging to the complainant, Mr. Kizito Omanukwue, under a false pretext of buying the 115 laptops worth N1.5 million. He told the court that the defendants allegedly hypnotised the company sales representatives and stole the laptops.
