However, between June and August 2025, the defendant allegedly violated this trust by selling the beverages and diverting the proceeds for personal use.<\/p>\n<p>The matter was reported to the Divisional Police Officer of Dolphin Estate Division, leading to Osayomi\u2019s arrest. He was subsequently arraigned before the Igbosere Magistrate\u2019s Court, sitting at the Tinubu Magistrate\u2019s Court, on a single count of stealing.<\/p>\n<p>Police prosecutor Reuben Solomon told the court that the offence contravened Section 287 of the Lagos State Criminal Law, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Osayomi pleaded not guilty to the charge. Presiding Magistrate N.O. Wahab granted him bail and adjourned the case to August 22, 2025.
