550

For allegedly defrauding a company of N891,000, a Point of Sale (POS) operator, Seun Ayoola, is facing trial at an Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun State.

The 33-year-old committed the offences at No. 5, Fatimilola St., Afobaje, Itele near Ota.

Persecondnews reports that Ayoola, who was arraigned on charges of theft and obtaining money under false pretences, however, denied the charges.

But the prosecutor, Police Inspector E.O Adaraloye, insisted that the defendant committed the offences on October 20, 2022 at 10:00 a.m.

According to Adaraloye, the defendant was given N891,000 to pay some customers by Monie Point International but failed to disburse the money.

“The defendant fraudulently converted the sum of N891,000 to personal use instead of fulfilling the agreement between him and the company,” he told the court.

The offences contravened Sections 390(9) and 419 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun, 2006.

Ruling on the accused’s bail application, the Magistrate, Mrs A.O. Adeyemi, admitted him to a bail of N100,000 in addition to one surety in like sum.

Adeyemi said the surety must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and must be gainfully employed with evidence of tax payment to the government.

Further hearing has been adjourned until April 3.
