The defendant, who had no legal representation, pleaded not guilty to the offence.
However, Mrs Rofiat Olayemi, the magistrate had ordered the remand of the defendant in prison custody due to the magnitude of the alleged offence.
The prosecutor, Insp Rasaki Olaiwola, earlier told the court that the defendant committed the offence on July 15 at about 8 a.m. at Ogidan area, Oke-Baale, Osogbo.

He told the court that the police arrested the defendant when the cell phone was traced to him.
“The accused used a stick and scissors to cut the net of the room where the phone was kept.
“The value of the stolen phone according to the owner is worth about N35,000”.
He said the offence contravened Section 390(9) of the Criminal Code, Cap 34, Vol. 11, Laws of Osun, 2003.
