The Police in Lagos, on Friday, arraigned a 22- year old man, Mandela Joe, at an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing a debit card at a bank.
The defendant, an unemployed man who resides at 23, Ifako road, Ifako, Lagos is being tried for conspiracy, stealing and possessing different debit cards with different names.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp. Glory Goodday, informed the court that the offences were committed on December 23, 2023 at commercial bank in Ogba, Lagos.
Goodday said the defendant pretended to assist the complainant, Mr Kalu Uchendu, whom he met at the ATM centre, adding that thereafter, the defendant denied ever collecting the complainant’s debit card.
The prosecutor said it was their argument that alerted the security guards who searched the defendant’s bag and saw the card with him.
Goodday also said that the security guards also saw 3 different bank debit cards with different names with the defendant and he couldn’t account for them.
The offences, according to the prosecutor, contravened the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Magistrate, Mr T. A Ameen, granted the defendant bail for N100,000 with two sureties in like sum and then adjourned the case until March 20 for mention.
