Teenager arraigned for allegedly stealing boyfriend’s N4m

An 18-year-old girl, Rukayat Ashiru, on Friday appeared before an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing N4 million cash belonging to her boyfriend.

The defendant is standing trial on a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing, to which she pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, PC Olapeju Durodola, told the court that the defendant and others now at large committed the offences on Nov. 30, 2024, at Mufu Lanihun, at Yidi Agugu in Ibadan.

She said that the defendant allegedly

added a substance to her boyfriend’s drink, one Waris Olamilekan, to make him lose consciousness.

According to her, the defendant stole the money after adding the substance in the complainant’s drink.

Durodola said the offences contravened Sections 390(9) and 516 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Oyo State, 2000.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Olabisi Ogunkanmi, admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N2 million with two sureties in like sum.

Ogunkanmi said one of the sureties must be a property owner within the court’s jurisdiction, while the second surety must be a blood relation to the defendant.

She, thereafter, adjourned the matter until May 26 for hearing.
