He added that they burgled Justrite Mall and stole laptops, mobile phones and phone accessories valued at N3,568,000, property of Ashiru Ibrahim Olayemi.

However, the two accused person pleaded not guilty to the five counts preferred against them by the police.

Counsel for the two accused persons, Nurudeen Kareem, made an oral bail application for his clients assuring the magistrate they would provide reliable sureties.

The prosecutor opposed the bail application saying, if they are granted bail, they will run away because the accused persons know that the police had overwhelming evidence against them.
