The police in Lagos on Monday arraigned a sales man, Sunday Nwakwo, for allegedly stealing goods worth N3.6 million and N550,000 cash.
Nwankwo is standing trial before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrate’s Court in Lagos on a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing.
The prosecutor, Insp. Eshiet Eshiet, said the accused stole 748 cartons of Exeter corned beef and the cash with a total value of N4.1million sometime in June, property of Mr Okechukwu Ezechieod.
Eshiet said the offence was committed at No. 56/61, Offin Road, Oke-Arin in Lagos.

Eshiet said the offence contravened Sections 516 and 390 (9) of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Chief magistrate, Oyindamola Ogala, granted Nwankwo bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in the sum of N250, 000 each.
The case was adjourned till Dec. 13 for further hearing.
