Twins, Taye and Kehinde Taiwo 22, as well as their younger brother, Isreal Taiwo, 20, on Tuesday appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court charged with N365,000 theft.
The defendants, all residents of 19, Odunbakun Street, Iju- Ishaga, Lagos State, are facing two counts of conspiracy and stealing.
The Prosecutor, ASP Raji Akeem told the court that the offences were committed on November 11, 2023, at 18, Ogooluwa Street, Iju- Ishaga in Lagos State.
Akeem said that Taye, a hairstylist, allegedly stole an ATM card belonging to his employer, Jumoke 0reofero, and withdrew N365,000 from her account.
The prosecutor said that the hairstylist thereafter fled from his work place, but when he was later apprehended, he named his co-defendants as accomplices.

The offences Akeem said, contravened Sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Chief Magistrate, Bola Osunsanmi granted the defendants N50,000 bail each, and with two sureties each in like sum.
Osunsanmi adjourned the case until February 8 for mention.
