An Ile-Ife Magistrates’ Court in Osun State on Friday granted bail in the sum of N500,000 to a teenager (name withheld) charged with breaking into a carpenter’s workshop to steal some items.
The Magistrate, Mrs Adejumoke Ademola-Olowolagba, also ordered that the 14-year-old should produce two sureties in like sum, also as a condition for the bail.
Ademola-Olowolagba directed that the sureties should reside within the court’s jurisdiction and be civil servants of grade level 08 and above.
The teenager is standing trial on a five-count charge of conspiracy, stealing, break-in, malicious damage and possessing goods without receipt.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to all the counts.
