The accused, 24, is being tried for a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing, to which she pleaded innocence.

The offences, he noted, contravened Sections 285 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.
The Chief Magistrate, Abimbola Awogboro, admitted Vitawan to a bail of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Section 285 prescribes a three-year jail term, while Section 409 provides two years for offenders.
Further hearing has been fixed for November 9.
