A 26-year-old man, Tajudeen Balogun on Monday was arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing two bottles of wine.
According to the police prosecutor, he stole the wines valued at N65, 200, from the Shoprite in the Ikeja Shopping Mall at Alausa on May 28.
“The accused came into the mall under the pretext of buying some goods and stole two bottles of Laurent wine and hid them inside his shirt.
“When he got to the entrance, the security men stopped him for checking and they discovered the items under his shirt.
“He was handed over to the police,” the prosecutor said.
The offence contravened Section 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, which prescribes three-year jail term for stealing, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

The Magistrate, Y.O. Ekogbulu, adjourned the case until June 28, 2017.
