The police on Thursday brought a 30-year-old man, John Timothy, before an Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, for alleged N1.2 million theft from a dead man’s bank account.
The defendant, whose address was not provided, is facing charges of conspiracy and stealing.
He, however, pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Insp Olalekan Adegbite, told the court that the defendant committed the offences between May 17, 2021 and July 21, 2021.

He said that the offences contravened Sections 516 and 390(9) of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
Osho adjourned the case until May 7 for hearing. (NAN)
