He said that the complainant dropped the car for Amuzie to wash and when he returned to pick his car, the defendant had left with it.

“He reported the case to the police and the defendants were arrested with the car,” Ogu said.

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

The Chief Magistrate, Mr J. A Adegun, admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N200,000 each with two sureties in like sum.

Adegun adjourned the case until January 8, 2020 for mention.
