A 38-year-old guard, Micheal Aniefie, was on Tuesday remanded in Kirikiri prison for allegedly stealing seven cans of drink valued at N700 in Lagos.
The accused, who is a resident of Agege area of Lagos, is being arraigned at Ikeja magistrate court for stealing.

The offence is said to have contravened Section 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
