Leo asserted that the defendant illegally took N4.2 million out of his employer’s account by conspiring with one other while they were at large.
He went on to say that once an investigation was conducted, the offender was taken into custody.
He claimed that the offence was in violation of Kaduna State’s 2017 Penal Code sections 287(7) and 217.
Not guilty was the defendant’s plea.
Judge Ibrahim Emmanuel granted the defendant N1 million in bail, with one surety in the same amount.
According to Emmanuel, in addition to being a blood relative of the defendant, the surety must work a job that pays a salary and provide proof that they paid taxes to the Kaduna State Government for the past two years.
