He alleged that the defendant stole the goat at Iloro-Ekiti in Ijero LGA of the state.

Apata said that the defendant also conducted himself in a manner likely to cause the breach of peace.

“Ojo as a commercial driver, drove from Iloro-Ekiti to Ado-Ekiti with the stolen she-goat.

“He sold it to a goat meat seller at Atikankan, in Ado-Ekiti, before he was arrested by the police while waiting to collect his money,” he said.

According to him, the offences contravene Sections 345 and 181(d) of the Criminal Law of Ekiti State, 2021.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges and his counsel, Mr Gbenga Ariyibi, urged the court to grant him bail.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Taiwo Ajibade, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N20,000 with one surety in like sum and adjourned the case until October 10, for hearing. (NAN)
