Police charge a PoS worker of fraud totaling N891,000.

Ayoola Seun, a 33-year-old Point of Sale operator in Ogun State, was arrested by the police on Tuesday before an Ota Magistrates' Court for allegedly defrauding a business of N891,000.

Inspector E.O. Adaraloye, the prosecution, informed the court that the offenses were committed by the defendant on October 20, 2022, about 10:00 a.m.

Seun was accused of committing the crime at No. 5 Fatimilola St. in Ogun State's Afobaje, Itele, Awori, Ota.

According to Adaraloye, Monie Point International gave the defendant N891,000 to pay some customers, but the money was never distributed.

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.
