Car dealer arraigned for allegedly damaging car’s gearbox worth N 2 million
A car dealer, Ayodeji Jolaoso, 38, on Tuesday appeared before an Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, Oyo State, over alleged misconduct.
Jolaoso, of no fixed address, was charged with conduct likely to cause breach of peace and malicious damage, which he pleaded not guilty to.
The Prosecutor, Inspector Akeem Akinloye, told the court that the defendant committed the offences sometime in February 2025, at Akala Express, Ibadan.
He alleged that the defendant collected a Toyota Camry worth N5 million from one Babatunde Oke with the aim of selling it.
The prosecutor said the defendant, rather, drove the car around and unlawfully damaged the gearbox worth N2 million.
He said the offences contravened Sections 249(D) and 451 of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
The Magistrate, Olabisi Ogunkanmi, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N2.5 million with two reliable sureties in like sum.
She adjourned the case until October 7 for hearing.
