The police in Lagos State have arraigned a 32-year-old woman, Nnoma Nze, before a Lagos State Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ebute-Metta for allegedly stealing N100 million from her employer.
Nze was docked before Magistrate Waliu Salami on a three-count charge of conspiracy, fraud and stealing.
The defendant, according to the police, committed the offences between 2015 and 2024 at the Onilekere Cement area of Lagos State.
The police prosecution accused the defendant of conspiring with others, who are currently at large, to defraud her employer, Chidinma Peace, of the money.
The prosecution also claimed that the offences committed contravened Sections 411, 314(1)(a)(b)(2)(3), 280, and 287 of the Lagos State Criminal Laws of 2015.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge, a development which made Magistrate Salami grant the defendant bail in the sum of N1 million, with two sureties in like sum.
The magistrate ordered that the sureties @must provide proof of livelihood and evidence of tax payments to the Lagos State government.”
He further directed that one of the sureties must be a blood relation of the defendant and that the court registrar must verify the addresses of the sureties.
The court then adjourned the case to September 18 for further hearing.
