A mother, Lola Disu, and her son, Ahmed Disu, have been remanded at Kirikiri Prison in Lagos following their arraignment on charges of allegedly stealing office property valued at over N122 million from Uccas Resources Ltd.
Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the remand after the duo’s arraignment by the police on a 14-count charge of theft. According to the charges, Lola and Ahmed, along with other unidentified individuals, conspired to steal various properties from Uccas Resources Ltd on June 25, 2021.

The stolen items reportedly included computers, office chairs, tables, air-conditioners, printers, scanners, copiers, industrial water filters, confidential documents, and other office equipment.
