A 40-year old lady, Susana Oladipupo, has been arrested and charged in Lagos State for allegedly obtaining the sum of N600,000 from a man, Toyin Faloye, over an undisclosed dealing between them.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Abiodun Street, Shogunle area of Lagos.
The complainant reportedly directed the money in question to be paid into the suspect’s account and when the complainant asked for it to be transferred to his account, she refused.
The matter was reported to the Police at Shogunle Division and the suspect was arrested and detained at the station for interrogation over her alleged conduct.
During interrogation, she insisted that she will not transfer the money to the complainant because of undisclosed dealings they had.
The Police did not disclose the dealings between them but found her culpable for obtaining by false pretence and stealing, which attracts several years of imprisonment.
She pleaded not guilty when she was arraigned.
The prosecutor, Inspector Christopher John, then asked the Court to give a date for hearing since she pleaded not guilty to enable the Police to prove that she actually committed the alleged offence.
The Presiding Magistrate, O.O. Taylor, granted her bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum, who must show evidence of means of livelihood and addresses verified by the Court.
The defendant was remanded in custody at the correctional centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when she will perfect her bail conditions while the matter was adjourned for mention.
