A 19-year-old teenager, Julius Francis, was arraigned on Wednesday before a Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing N475000 cables.
The defendant, a resident of Barnawa in Kaduna, is facing a one count charge of stealing.
The Prosecutor, Insp. Chidi Leo, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on Sept. 21 at Sabon Tasha, Kaduna.
Leo said that the defendant stole 150 meters of 1.5mm cables valued at N475,000, property of Williams Investment Ltd.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The Magistrate, Ibrahim Emmanuel, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N100,000 with one surety in like sum.
