Enugu Magistrate Court sitting in Enugu North Magisterial District has remanded a 40-year-

old man, Osita Igwe at Enugu Correctional Centre for alleged robbery.

The charge which Newsmen obtained on Wednesday shows that Igwe was arraigned on

Tuesday on a three-count charge bordering on robbery and conspiracy. The accused was

said to have robbed one Chijioke Mba of his belongings including four iPhones and

accessories worth N2m on July 5, 2024, at the Ebeano Tunnel, area of the state.

The police prosecutor, Emma Ugwu, told the court that the defendant’s offences

contravened sections 6(b), 1(1), and 2(b) of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions)

Act, as well as section 315(3) of the Criminal Code (Amendment) Law of 2009.

Among the items allegedly stolen from Chief Chijioke Mba were a Samsung Fold 4 valued

at N1m, three hundred thousand naira, an iPhone 13 Pro Max valued at N800k, a black

iPhone cord valued at five thousand naira, and a small envelope containing five hundred

US dollars in cash, among other valuables. The defendant pleaded not guilty after the

charge was read to him and interpreted to his understanding.

The presiding Chief Magistrate, Nelson Egbo, ordered that the defendant be remanded in

Enugu Maximum Custodial Centre, and adjourned the case until September 20, 2024, for

further hearing.
