Two men, Musibau Adisa, aged 55, and Busari Tajudeen, aged 51, appeared before the Osun State Magistrate Court in Osogbo on Tuesday, facing charges of stealing prepaid meters.
According to The PUNCH, the defendants allegedly committed the theft in the Arogunmosa Area of Osogbo. They appeared before Magistrate Adekanmi Adeyeba.
Police prosecutor Mr. Rasaq Olayiwola informed the court that the defendants stole a meter with serial number 45060226300 belonging to Ibrahim Semiu in May 2024 at Arogunmosa Area, Oke-Baale, Osogbo.
