THREE workers who allegedly used a fake teller to steal goods worth more than eight million Naira from their employer have been charged before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court.
The defendants are Blessing Okogun, 35, who lives at Ogba, Lagos State; Jeremiah Sani, 24, a resident of Ikeja; and Annabel Hyginus, who resides at Akowonjo, Lagos State.
They are facing charges of conspiracy and stealing before Chief Magistrate O. A Adelaja.
The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty.
According to the prosecutor, ASP Raji Akeem, the defendants committed the alleged offences in May at the 4th Floor, Buffalo House, Allen Avenue, Ikeja.
Akeem alleged that the defendants, employed by Alliance in Motion Global Nig. Ltd. which deals on nutritional supplements, used a fake teller to remove goods worth more than eight million Naira from the company.
Akeem also submitted that the defendants sold the goods and diverted the proceeds to their own use.
The alleged offenses contravene Sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The chief magistrate granted each of the defendant’s bail in the sum of N800,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Adelaja adjourned the case until Aug. 8 for mention. (NAN)
