Nigeria - A 30-year-old man, Adamu Yusuf, has been accused of converting to personal use the N100m he was given by his three business partners to buy GSM recharge cards for sale.
He was, on Friday in Kano, remanded in prison over the alleged N100m fraud on the orders of a Kano Magistrates’ Court.
Yusuf, who resides in Sabo area of Sagamu in Ogun State, is facing a two-count charge of criminal breach of trust and cheating.
The Senior Magistrate, Mr. Aminu Fagge, who gave the ruling, said the accused should remain behind bars until September 12 when the case would come up for mention.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Inspector Yusuf Sale, had told the court that on March 16, a complaint was received at the Assistant Inspector-General of Police’s office in Kano.
According to him, on February 28, three men — Alhaji Sani Ali of Gadon Kaya Quarters, Kano; Sani Hamza and Salisu Haruna — gave the accused a sum of N100m to buy MTN recharge cards for them to sell.
The accused converted the whole money to personal use, he said, adding that all efforts made by the complainants to take delivery of the recharge cards or get their money back proved abortive.
The accused, however, pleaded ‘not guilty’ to the charges.
The offences contravened the provisions of sections 312 and 322 of the Penal Code.
