For allegedly stealing a bag of clothes at a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) terminus, a 44-year-old woman, Bolanle Awosika, on Thursday appeared before a Tinubu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
Awosika, of No. 14, Ajadi Lawal St., Ikorodu, Lagos, is facing a count charge.
She, however, denied committing the offence.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Daniel Ighodalo, told the court that Awosika committed the offence at 3:00p.m., on 2 December, at a BRT terminus at Idumota on Lagos Island.
He said that the accused stole a sack containing male and female clothes valued at N150,000.
The prosecutor said that the clothes belonged to a trader, Mrs Christiana Olala.
According to Ighodalo, Olala asked Awosika, who was in a queue with her, to assist her to carry the sack. Ighodalo said: “By the time Olala returned, Awosika had disappeared with the sack of clothes.”
The prosecutor said that luck, however, ran out on the accused when the complainant spotted her at the same bus stop on 9 December.
He said that Olala raised an alarm which alerted passersby who apprehended Awosika and handed her over to the police.
Ighodalo said that the offence contravened Section 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
NAN reports that Section 285 stipulates three years imprisonment for stealing.
The Magistrate, Mrs O.M. Ajayi, granted the accused bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum, and adjourned the case to 15 December for mention.

The incident happened on a walkway beside a major drainage network on Adifashe Street, around 2.30pm on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Ogun State indigene was said to be survived by a child.
It was gathered that Ikuoyemi was smoking hemp around the drainage when the gunmen, who had been monitoring his movement, arrived on a motorcycle.
An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity for security concern, said the suspected Aiye Confraternity members shot the victim twice. She said, “There were two of them who came on the motorcycle. Immediately they arrived, they met him where he was smoking hemp.
“He was backing them and was unaware of their presence.
“They first shot him in the armpit. When he turned around to face them, they gave him a second shot in the head and he fell into the gutter.”
The gunshots were said to have spread panic in the area as residents ran helter-skelter.

Hungry crocodiles ate a 65-years-old woman. She jumped into their area at a zoo in Bangkok.
Wanpen Inyai picked rather weird way to commit suicide. 65-year-old woman threw herself in the “home” of 1,000 crocodiles at Samut Prakarn Crocodile Farm & Zoo. As reported, woman has been suffering from depression in the days before her suicide. She had not spoken a
single word to anybody before her death as well. Before her death leap she took off her shoes. It took just a couple of minutes for angry animals to eat her. Horrified tourists saw everything.
Tour guide, who witnessed the incident said:
“She did not cry or scream when she was bitten.It happened so quickly. Nobody could do anything.”
Park guide Thanes Wiriyaporn said the incident took place around feeding time:
“Just right in front of me, she just jumped into the pond without a word. The moment the crocodile grabbed her body, she even hugged onto him.”
Zoo keepers tried to save her but could do nothing. They managed to ward off the crocodiles to prevent them from attacking, but their affords failed. Woman`s identified by police just because her documents were floating in the water.
Police also stated that woman left a suicide note where she apologized to her family.

The police in Ogidi Anambra state have arrested two young ladies identified as Chioma from Umudioka in Dunukofia council area, of the state and one Amaka for allegedly engaging in lesbianism
According to reports on Information NG, the suspects were caught while indulging in the unholy act in a beer parlour belonging to one of them.
Reliably gathered that members of the homosexuality and lesbianism family in the state have started mobilising lawyers to make sure that the two ladies and their other members currently in police net are not sent to jail.

Our correspondent learnt that the Ogidi Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Isah Mohammed has vowed to make sure that the suspects are jailed so as to serve as a deterrent to others.
It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan recently signed into law a bill prohibiting gay and lesbianism.
One of the suspects who was interviewed, confessed to the crime, saying it was the handiwork of the devil. She said “Please, one of my sisters is staying in her shop at Ochanga Market in Onitsha, and I don’t have her phone number off head. Please help me beg the police to allow me call her. I will never live in such dirty life again” She pleaded
When contacted, Divisional Police Officer, DPO Mr. Isah Mohammed confirmed the story insisting that the matter must go to court.
Mohammed however, advised any interested persons to go and wait for the police in the Court, adding that it is where they “can seek for the bail of the accused dirty ladies for their alleged actions.”
According to the Nigeria’s anti-gay law, the suspects risk 14 years jail term each if convicted.
