The police charged Nwenyim, who lives in Kubwa, Abuja with criminal breach of trust and cheating.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecutor, Mr Chinedu Ogade told the court that the complainant, Benjamin Ekenma of Kubwa, Abuja reported the matter on May 12 in Kubwa Police Station.
Ogada said that on March 15, the complainant gave the defendant iron pipes valued at N1.1 million to sell and remit money to him.
