Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A 36-year-old transporter, Raphael Umezuruike, was arraigned on Wednesday before a Sabo, Yaba Chief Magistrates\u2019 Court in Lagos State, for the alleged diversion of property worth N12 million.<\/p>\n

Umezuruike, whose address was not given, is facing a three-count charge of conspiracy, obtaining money by pretences, and stealing.<\/p>\n

He, however, pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the prosecutor, DSP Thomas Nurudeen, informed the court that Umezuruike committed the offences from May 19 to 24, 2022, at Apapa Wharf.<\/p>\n

He alleged that Umezuruike obtained N1.4 million from the complainant, Tadese Mojeed, on the pretext of transporting for him a 20-foot container of Mica products valued at N12 million.<\/p>\n

He submitted that Umezuruike and his accomplices diverted the container to another location to sell the products and share the proceeds.<\/p>\n

Nurudeen said that the actions contravened sections 287 (5) (a), 314 (1) (a) and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.<\/p>\n

Section 287 prescribes three years\u2019 imprisonment for stealing.<\/p>\n

The Chief Magistrate, Mr Peter Nwaka, granted Umezuruike bail in the sum of N1 million with two sureties in like sum.<\/p>\n

He adjourned the case until March 20 for a substantive trial.<\/p>\n
