“The total amount of properties stolen is N380,000,” he said.

The prosecutor said that the defendant, on Aug.10 at about 1:00 a.m. at Mowo Police Station, escaped from lawful custody by breaking the key to the cell.

He said that the offences contravened Sections 287 and 106 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The Chief Magistrate, Mr Patrick Adekomaya, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N200, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
