A 36-year old man, Bambadiga Konbe, has been arraigned before a Magistrates’ Court in Akure, by the Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun Corps, for allegedly stealing solar  cable.

The accused was brought before Magistrate Damilola Sekoni, on one-count charge of stealing.

The prosecution led by M.I. Osimen, informed the court that the alleged offence was committed on March 17, 2025, at White House, GRA, Ondo City.
