A pregnant woman Laura Aigbokhai, and her partner, Abimbola John, were on Tuesday arraigned before the Ogba Magistrate’s Court over alleged theft of N6m.
The defendants, who were said to have conspired with others still at large, were alleged to have stolen the money from their employer.
Aigbokhai and John were charged with two counts of conspiracy and stealing.
The charges read in part, “That you, Abimbola Olanrewaju John, Laura Aigbokhai, and others still at large on June 23, 2022, at about 5.40pm at No. 3 Anthony Road, in the Anthony area of Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did steal the sum of N6m, property of Rokee1388 Venture.”
The offences were said to be punishable under sections 411 and 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria 2015.The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The prosecutor urged the court to give stringent bail conditions, while counsel for the defendants, Williams Umoh, sought liberal bail conditions, saying Aigbokhai was pregnant.
