Ojo, who has no fixed address, is standing trial on a two-count charge of housebreaking and stealing.
He, however, pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Inspector Moyosola Adesola, told the court that the defendant committed the offences on Falegan, Ilawe Road in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, on March 14.
