Marketer docked for bolting with company’s N1.9m

A 34-year-old marketer, Cajetan Ukuwuoma, who allegedly bolted with his company’s N1.9 million was on Wednesday brought before an Apapa Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
Ukuwuoma, a resident of the Apapa Area of Lagos, was arraigned on a one-count charge of stealing.
The prosecutor, Insp. Tony Elibeh, told the court that the accused committed the offence in the month of February at Brickwall Global Investment Ltd., located at Delta Plaza, Trade Fair Complex, Lagos.
Elibeh said that the accused stole N1.9 million belonging to his employer, Brickwall Global Investment Ltd.
He alleged that the accused, who was supposed to remit N1.9 million into the company’s account, converted it to his own personal use.
The prosecutor said that when the company discovered that Ukuwuoma was stealing from it, the company reported the case to the police and the accused was arrested.
However, the accused pleaded not guilty to the charge of stealing.
The offence contravenes Section 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015(revised).
Section 287 prescribes a three-year jail term for stealing.
Chief Magistrate Titus Abolarinwa admitted the accused to bail in the sum of N200, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
He subsequently adjourned the case until July 26, for mention. (NAN)
