A 65-year-old suspected burglar, Adekanmi Popoola, has been arraigned before a Chief Magistrate Court, sitting in Igbajo, Boluwaduro local government area of the State of Osun, for allegedly stealing a water pumping machine.

Popoola was accused of breaking into the house of one Femi Falola to steal one DAB electric motor 1horse power valued at N20,000.

According to the charge sheet obtained by OSUN DEFENDER, the defendant committed the offence on September 16, 2022, at No 16, Royal Estate, Igbajo, State of Osun.

The offence contravened Section 383 and punishable under Section 390 (9) of the Criminal Code, Cap 34, Vol. II, Laws of Osun State, 2002.

The accused person, however, pleaded not guilty to a one-count charge of stealing leveled against him.

Applying for the bail of the defendant, Defence Counsel, Kehinde Adepoju, prayed the court to admit him to bail on a liberal term, noting that the accused person was a reliable citizen of the state and that reliable surety would stand for him throughout the trial.

In his ruling, the presiding Magistrate, O.A Daramola, admitted the accused person to bail in a sum of N20,000 with one surety.

The case is adjourned till October 25, 2022, for mention.
