A Lagos Special Offences Court in Ikeja has remanded a 32-year-old man, Sedeliu Iziomo, in a correctional facility for allegedly stealing N11.27 million from a new generation bank.
Iziomo is charged with a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
Arraigning the defendant, EFCC Counsel, Mr Nnemeka Omewa, alleged that the defendant conspired with one Jude Alpheous (already charged) on July 12, 2019, to steal the money from the bank.
The prosecution said the alleged offences contravened Sections 287 and 409 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2011.

The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge.
The prosecution urged the court to remand the defendant following his not guilty plea.
The defence counsel, Mrs Mercy Akabue, prayed to the court for a shortest date for hearing of the bail application.
Subsequently, Justice Taiwo adjourned the case until Aug. 8 for hearing of the bail application.
