The police on Wednesday arraigned a 22-year-old man, David Eze, for allegedly obtaining N105,000 under false pretence.
Eze is standing trial before an Apapa Chief Magistrate’s Court in Lagos on a two-count charge of stealing and obtaining money under pretence.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Inedu Friday, told the court that the accused collected the amount from one Mrs Glory Nwanna, under the pretext of supplying her with computer accessories.
Friday said the offence was committed sometime in July.
The prosecutor, however, said after collecting the money, the accused failed to deliver the goods.
He said the offences contravened Sections 419 and 516 Criminal Code Cap 17 Vol. 11 Laws of Lagos State.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Chief Magistrate, Amos Adeyemi, granted the accused bail in the sum of N30,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Adeyemi subsequently adjourned the hearing till Aug. 30
