An Ikeja Magistrate’s Court on Friday remanded two friends who allegedly snatched a Honda Accord saloon car at gunpoint.
Magistrate A. O. Adegite remanded in prison custody, Jude Nnanna (38) and Virginus Ezekiri (27) charged with conspiracy and armed robbery.
The court did not take the plea of the accused as Adegite said that she needed the advice of the state’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on the matter.
The prosecutor, ASP W.G. Wagbara, told the court that the duo snatched the vehicle from one Mr Eugene Iyamah as he was returning home on Aug. 17.
Wagbara said Nnanna and Ezekiri conspired with others still at large, and took the car from Iyama on the Airport Road, Ikeja.
The prosecutor said the vehicle was worth two million naira.
Wagbara noted that the alleged offences were punishable under section 516 of the Criminal Code of Lagos State and section 1(2) of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Act.
Further hearing in the case has been adjourned till Nov. 16.
