The prosecutor alleged that the defendants sold the stolen items and converted the money to their personal use.

The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of sections 97 and 287 of the Penal Code.

The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty.

The Magistrate Habiba Bello admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N100,000 each, with one surety each, resident within the court’s jurisdiction.

Bello ordered that the sureties must write an affidavit of means of their livelihood and adjourned the matter until July 8 for hearing.
