A 26-year-old messenger, Oluwafemi Johnson, who allegedly stole his employer’s ATM card with which he withdrew N255,000, on Friday appeared before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court.
The accused, who resides on Alasela Street, Idiagbon, Ifako-Ijaiye, Lagos, is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Michael Unah, told the court that the accused committed the offences on Feb. 6 on Iju Road, Agege, Lagos.
Unah said that the accused stole the ATM card of Mr Ibini.
“The accused withdrew N55,000 and transferred N200,000 to a woman’s UBA account,” he said.
