The Police in Lagos, on Tuesday, arraigned a 30-year-old tailor, Peter Emmanuel, before a Tinubu Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing three cell phones, valued at N320,000.
Emmanuel, who resides at Bar Beach Police Barracks, is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing, to which he, however, pleaded not guilty.
