The police on Wednesday arraigned an applicant, Kunle Opadeyi, at an Abuja Chief Magistrates’ Court in Karu, for allegedly stealing N1m at a wedding reception.
The accused person was arraigned on two counts of criminal conspiracy and theft.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the prosecutor, ASP Adams Peter, told the court that the accused had sneaked into the wedding dinner at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, pretending to be a guest.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge, but told the court that he stole only N200,000....LMAO
Chief Magistrate Hadiza Shagari admitted the accused to bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Shagari adjourned the case until June 11, for further hearing...punch
