Two women, Oluwatoyin Bello and Anuoluwa Adeshina, were arraigned in the Ikorodu Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, on Monday for allegedly conspiring among themselves to steal goods worth N2.85 million.

Mses Bello, 35, and Adeshina, 32, whose addresses were not provided, are facing a three-count charge bordering on conspiracy, forgery, and stealing.
