Temple, 33, was arraigned by the police on a four-count charge of conspiracy, breaking, entering and stealing.
Richmond Temple, found in possession of N12million church equipment belonging to The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), has appeared before an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.

“The defendant and others at large did break and enter The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM). They did steal three amplifiers, three electronic keyboards, one laptop computer, one digital console and one CD printer, all valued at N5million.

He said Temple could not give a satisfactory response to questions at the Ilasan Police Station.

Temple pleaded not guilty.

His counsel, O. Bridget, applied for his bail “in the most liberal terms.”

In a bench ruling, Magistrate B. I. Bakare granted Temple N50, 000 bail with two sureties in the like sum, among other conditions.

The case continues on September 19.
