POS OPERATOR IS CHARGED BY POLICE WITH FRAUD TOTALING N891,000

Ayoola Seun, an employee of a point-of-sale system, 33, was charged by the police on Tuesday before an Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun State with allegedly defrauding a business of N891,000.

The defendant committed the offenses on October 20, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., according to the prosecutor, Inspector E.O Adaraloye.

According to reports, Seun committed the crime at No. 5 Fatimilola St. in Ogun State’s Afobaje, Itele, and Awori.

According to Adaraloye, the defendant was paid N891,000 by Monie Point International to pay some customers but failed to do so.

Instead of carrying out the terms of the agreement between him and the corporation, “the defendant fraudulently diverted the sum of N891,000 to personal use,” he said.

The offenses, according to the prosecutor, were in violation of Articles 390(9) and 419 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun, 2006.

However the accused entered a not guilty plea to the accusation.

The defendant was granted bail in the amount of N100,000 with one surety in the same amount by the magistrate, Mrs. A.O. Adeyemi.

Adeyemi mandated that the surety must be a resident of the court’s geographic jurisdiction, be actively seeking employment, and provide documentation of tax payments to the Ogun State government.

She set a new hearing date of April 3 for the matter.
