Kayode, whose address was not provided, is facing one-count charge of possession of stolen goat.
The prosecutor, Insp Elijah Adejare, told the court that Kayode committed the offence on May 24 at about 11 p.m. in Ikole-Ekiti.
He alleged that the defendant had in his possession one goat suspected to have been stolen.
Adejare said the offence contravened Section 345 of the Criminal Law of Ekiti State, 2021.
He urged the court to adjourn the case to enable him study the case file and present his witnesses.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty and his Counsel, Mrs Blessing Falaye, urged the court to grant him bail, with a promise that he would not jump bail.
Consequently, the Chief Magistrate, Mrs Kehinde Awosika, granted the defendant bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum and adjourned the case until June 25 for hearing.
