Two bakery employees in Ibadan have been charged in court for stealing two loaves of bread.

Two employees of FoodCo, Ring Road branch, Ebenezer Olusesi, 31, and Ibrahim Adeniyi,41, were on Monday docked in an Iyaganku Chief Magistrate’s Court for allegedly stealing two loaves of bread worth N2,600 from their employer.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olusesi, a baker and Adeniyi, a security guard, pleaded not guilty to theft.

He said the offence contravened sections 390 (a) and 516 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.

The Chief Magistrate, Olabisi Ogunkanmi, admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N50,000 each with two sureties each in like.

Ogunkanmi said one of the sureties must be a relation while the second sureties must present tax evidence for two years.

She adjourned the matter until August 15 for a hearing.
