“The accused made away with 15 bags of rice, four bags of beans and three bags of garri, all valued at N297,000. She had asked me to move out of the shop that she wanted to make use of it. But I pleaded with her to give me more time to secure an alternative place.
“But on the said date, I passed by the shop and found out that my shop had been burgled and some goods carted away,’’ he said.
