A 45-year-old man, Yusuf Apara, who allegedly stole a truck valued at N11 million was on Monday docked before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court.

Apara, who resides at Ifo in Ogun, is being tried for conspiracy and stealing.

The Prosecutor, Insp. Clifford Ogu, told the court that the offences were committed on March 15 at the Abule Egba area of Lagos.

Ogu said that the accused, a driver at Fafem Haulage Nigeria Plc, was asked to deliver drinks to one of the company’s customers in Kaduna.

He said that the accused delivered the drinks but allegedly failed to return to the company with the vehicle.

“The accused did not show up in the office nor did he return the truck which is valued at N11million, and all efforts to locate him failed,’’ he said.

Ogu added that the case was reported to the police and the accused was arrested in a remote village in Ogun.

He said that the offences contravened Sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The Chief Magistrate, Mr J. A. Adegun, admitted the accused to bail in the sum of N100, 000 with two sureties in like sum.

Adegun adjourned the case until July 9, for trial.
