The Police in Osun on Wednesday dragged a 52-year-old woman, Patience Ayube and her son, Josiah Ayube, before an Osun State Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ile-Ife for allegedly stealing a motorcycle.
Also arraigned alongside the duo were Joseph Oluwaseun and Friday Emmanuel said to have conspired to steal the motorcycle worth N285, 000.
The police prosecutor, Abdullahi Emmanuel, told the court that the defendants conspired and stole one Honda motorcycle worth N285,000, belonging to one Emmanuel Akpan.
He accused the defendants of conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace when they attacked Akpan.
The police prosecutor argued that the offences committed were contrary to sections 249(d), 390(9) and 516 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Osun, 2002.
When the count charges were read to the defendants, they pleaded not guilty.
The defence counsel, Mr Olalekan Babatunde, urged the court to admit them to bail in liberal terms.
While ruling, the presiding magistrate, A. Oyebadejo, admitted each of the defendants to bail in the sum of N50,000 or a surety in like sum.
Oyebadejo, however, adjourned the case till June 30 for hearing.
