Earlier, the legal officer, Joshua Babalola, an official of the Department of State Service (DSS), told the court that Abayomi and some others still at large committed the offences at the residence of the former governor.
Babalola alleged that the defendant carted away valuable items worth millions of naira from his employer’s residence at Ikoyi.
He said the defendant absconded to Old Garage, Molorundo Local Government Area of Osun State, where he was arrested by Ambode’s DSS on March 7.
The offences, Babalola said, contravened sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
