Police arrest woman for refusing to return N2,000 mistakenly sent to her
A 40-year-old woman, Isoken Idunueko, was on Friday arraigned at the Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan for failing to return N2,040 mistakenly sent to her bank account by a third party.
The defendant, who lives in the Elebu area, Ibadan, is charged with theft.
She, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecutor, Foluke Adedosu, told the court that the defendant, in February at Oke-Itunu, Mokola, Ibadan, stole N2,040 that was mistakenly sent to her Zenith Bank account No. 2111699080.
Ms Adedosu alleged that she refused to return the money to the owner when the complainant, Sandra Okwueze, contacted her.
She said the offence contravened section 383 and was punishable under section 390(9) of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.
The magistrate, A. T. Oyediji, admitted her to bail of N500,000 with two sureties to post the same bond.
Ms Oyediji said one of the sureties must be a landed property owner who lives in the house.
She, thereafter, adjourned the matter until June 2 for hearing.
