Akeem said the defendants conspired and stole N2.5 million belonging to their employer, Sweet Sensation, adding that the alleged theft was uncovered when the eatery’s account was audited.

The prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The Chief Magistrate, B. O Osunsanmi, admitted each of the defendants to N300,000 bail with two sureties in like sum.

Osunsanmi, therefore, adjourned the case until January 30 for mention.
