In the midst of urban crime in Lagos, a recent incident has brought to light a case of burglary that has disrupted the peace in a residential neighborhood. A resident of Kola area in Lagos is currently facing trial for charges of theft and break-in. The accused has pleaded not guilty before the Ikeja Magistrate’s Court, leaving questions surrounding the events that transpired in this serene community.
The incident occurred on February 18 at 13, Fola Falusi Street, Ajegunle Alakuko, Lagos. The prosecutor, ASP Evelyn Ehieniua, revealed that the defendant and his alleged partners unlawfully entered Juliana Akinrolabu’s residence and stole a grinding machine valued at N670,000. Additionally, they made off with a manual capsule filling machine estimated at N4.5 million.
