An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos, on Thursday, remanded a teenager, Chima Obi, in a Correctional Centre over the alleged armed robbery.
The defendant, whose address was not given, is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and armed robbery.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs. A.O. Ajibade, however, did not take the plea of the defendant.
Ajibade ordered that the defendant should be remanded at the correctional facility, pending legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
She then adjourned the case until July 19 for mention.
The Prosecutor, ASP Kehinde Ajayi, told the court that the defendant, and two others at large, armed with guns and other dangerous weapons, committed the offense on June 7 at the Iyana Iba area of Lagos.
Ajayi said that the defendant and others still at large robbed one Lucky Okoro in his shop of an Oppo android phone valued at N110, 000, a wristwatch, and a cash sum of N25, 000.
