The Prosecutor, ASP Kenneth Asibor, told the court that the defendant committed the offences sometime in 2018 at Isheri area of Lagos.

He said that the defendant fraudulently obtained the spicy meat on credit from the complainant, Mr Reginald Nwogbo, on the pretext of paying for it after sales, but converted the money to his personal use.

“The defendant issued a Diamond bank post-dated cheque to the complainant which was dishonoured due to insufficient funds,” he said.

The prosecutor said that the offences contravened Sections 315 (1) and 321 (b) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The Magistrate, Mr T. O. Shomade, remanded the defendant in prison and ordered the prosecutor to duplicate the case file and send to the state director of public prosecutions for advice.

He adjourned the case until Sept. 16 for mention.
