P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Jegede $treet, Akinogun area of Lagos.
She was arrested and charged before the Court for allegedly obtaining the said money under false pretence.
Her arraignment followed after the complainant, Iloanya, wrote a petition to the Area Commander, Area P Command, against Nkiruka over her alleged criminal conduct.
Hence, she was arrested and detained at the Command for interrogation over the allegations. And after thorough interrogation, the Police found her culpable and asked her to refund the money but she told the Police that she had spent the money.

The prosecutor, Supol Benedict Aigbokhan, told the Court that the alleged offence she committed contravened Section 314and 287 of the Criminal Laws of the State and since she pleaded not guilty, the Court should give a date for hearing to enable the Police to prove that she actually committed the alleged offence.

The matter was adjourned till 12th May, 2023, while the defendant was remanded in custody at the Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when she will perfect his bail conditions.
