Mr John told the court that the defendant committed the offence on October 8 at 5.30 a.m. on Taiwo Street Mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos.
The magistrate, K. A. Ariyo, granted the woman bail of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Mr Ariyo ordered that the woman’s sureties be gainfully employed and have evidence of two years’ tax payment to the Lagos government.
The court adjourned the case until January 10 for mention.
Stealing contravenes Section 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, and attracts three years’ jail term.
