Kaduna woman arraigned for breach of trust, misappropriation of N7 million
A 35-year-old woman, Abigail Moses, was arraigned on Thursday before the Kaduna Magistrates’ Court for misappropriating the company’s N6.7 million.
Ms Moses, a resident of Kabala West, Kaduna, faces a two-count charge of criminal breach of trust and misappropriation.
She pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The prosecutor, Leo Chidi, told the court that Kingsley Vincent of Jos Road, Kaduna, reported the matter on April 28 at Gabasawa Police Station.
According to Mr Chidi, the defendant, a secretary at Vincent & Sons Trading Company Nigeria Ltd, in Kaduna, misappropriated N6.7 million in sales proceeds.
The prosecutor stated that auditing the company revealed the defendant misappropriated the sum without providing a satisfactory account.
The magistrate, Ibrahim Emmanuel, granted the defendant bail of N1 million and required two sureties in the like sum.
He said the sureties must reside within the court’s jurisdiction and present evidence of three years’ tax payments to the Kaduna government.
Emmanuel added that one of the sureties must be a blood relation to the defendant, and he adjourned the case until June 25 for hearing.
