A 33-year-old Point of Sale operator, Ayoola Seun, was on Tuesday charged by the police before an Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun State for allegedly defrauding a firm of N891,000.
The prosecution, Inspector E.O Adaraloye, informed the court that the defendant committed the acts on October 20, 2022, at about 10’o clock in the morning.
Seun was claimed to have committed the act at No. 5, Fatimilola St., Afobaje, Itele, Awori, Ota in Ogun State.
Adaraloye stated that the defendant was granted N891,000 to pay certain clients by Monie Point International but failed to distribute the money to the rightful owners.
“The defendant fraudulently diverted the money of N891,000 to personal use instead of satisfying the agreement between him and the company,” he stated.
The prosecution claimed that the charges contravened Sections 390(9) and 419 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun, 2006.
The defendant, however, pled not guilty to the accusation.
The Magistrate, Ms A.O. Adeyemi, granted bail to the defendant in the amount of N100,000 with one surety in like sum.
Adeyemi ruled that the surety must live within the court’s jurisdiction and be gainfully employed with proof of tax payment to the Ogun State government.
Judge deferred the matter to April 3 for further hearing.
