A 36-year-old unemployed man, Wisdom Uroh, was on Friday arraigned before an Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan over the alleged theft of two mobile phones valued at N300,000.
The defendant, whose address was not disclosed, was charged with conspiracy and stealing.
The prosecutor, Insp. Salewa Hammed, told the court that the defendant allegedly conspired with other members of his gang, who are currently at large, to commit the offence.

She adjourned the matter until May 26, for hearing. (NAN)
