A magistrate court in Osogbo, Osun State, on Tuesday remanded a 33-year-old commercial motorcycle operator in Lagos, Yemi Rafiu, for allegedly stealing some motor parts at a mechanic shop.

The police prosecutor, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Abiodun Fagboyinbo, told the court that Rafiu committed the offence on July 18, 2020 at about 11pm at Balogun, Osogbo.
