On Friday March 28, 2014, a pastor, Emmanuel Akinsanya, who allegedly broke into a house and stole property worth N680, 000, was put on trial at an Itire Magistrates’ Court in Lagos. Akinsanya is facing a three-count charge of conspiracy, housebreaking and theft.
 
The accused gained entry into No 24, Okoye st.,Bucknor, Isolo, Lagos, an apartment of one Christiana Njoku through the roof and stole property worth N680, 000. Njoku got a call from a neighbour that some men were at her apartment tearing down the roof. Before tearing the roof, Njoku told the owner of the building had contracted him and three others to remove the roofing sheets.

When the complainant entered her apartment, she discovered that her laptop, a gold necklace and some money, all worth N680, 000 were missing. Njoku immediately made a report at the Ejigbo Police Station.


The accused pleaded not guilty, and the case was adjourned to April 17 for mention.
