A 37-year-old Nigerian was this morning granted bail against a personal guarantee of 10,000 euros after pleading not guilty to stealing 2,329 euros worth of goods from Jason's Garage in Triq Znuber, Mosta. He was also placed under house arrest.

Michael Olutayo Ajibode is married to a Maltese woman but is currently undergoing annulment procedures.

Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera warned Mr Ajibode that should be breach bail conditions, his guarantee would be translated into a very long prison term at a rate of 11.65 euros per day.
