The prosecutor said the broken ceiling and door were valued at N75, 000.
“The accused carted away with N99, 250, 00 and a plasma television valued at N150, 000.
“All efforts to locate him failed until he was sighted by one of the staff of the company, who raised alarm and a passerby helped in apprehending him, “Akeem said.
The offences contravened Sections 406, 287 and 350 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
