A middle-aged man, Vincent Odimagwu, on Tuesday pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing N1.8 million and N600,000.
Odimagwu is standing trial on a three-count charge of conspiracy, stealing and fraud before an Apapa Chief Magistrate’s Court in Lagos.
The Prosecutor, Cpl. John Iberedem, told the court that the accused and others at large committed the offence on July 30, 2007 at Abule Ado, Amuwo Odofin in Lagos.
Iberedem said the syndicate collected the money from Mr Anabike Nenso under the pretext of assisting him to get a cure for a sexually transmitted infection, staphylococcus.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened Sections 390, 419 and 516 of the Criminal Code, Cap. C17, Vol. 11, Laws of Lagos State 2003.
The Chief Magistrate, O. O Oshin, consequently ordered that the accused be remanded in prison custody and adjourned judgment till Sept. 1
