Cart pusher ‘steals’ N166,000 worth of milk

A 25-year-old cart pusher, Musa Abu, was yesterday arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing cartons of milk worth N166,000.

Abu, who lives at Orile-Agege, is facing a two- count charge of stealing and conspiracy before Magistrate T. O. Ojo.

Prosecuting Sergeant Kendrich Nomayo said the defendant committed the offence on August 20 at Mangoro, Agege.

He alleged that the defendant and two others still at large conspired to steal the milk, belonging to Joke Essential Store.

According to him, the defendant and his accomplices scaled the fence to enter the company’s premises at night.

He alleged that the defendant and others destroyed the key to a pick-up van and carted away cartons of Peak and Three Crowns milk.

He said the security guard, who sighted the defendant, alerted the police.

Nomayo said the defendant was arrested but others escaped.

Abu pleaded not guilty.

Magistrate Ojo granted him N100,000 bail, with two sureties in the like sum.

Mrs Ojo said the sureties must be employed and show evidence of two years tax payment.

The case continues on September 20.
