Prosecuting Inspector Aondohemba Koti said the defendant committed the offence on January 14 at Mushin, Lagos.
He said the kegs of 25 litres each belonged to Mr. Abdullahi Mohammed.
Koti said the complainant observed that his kegs were always missing and he could not trace them to anybody, until luck ran against the defendant.
