The Police on Tuesday docked a 38-year-old woman, Felicia Dogo, in a Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court over alleged N2 million fraud.
The defendant, a resident of Hayin Bankin, Kawo Kaduna, is standing trial on a charge of fraud to which she pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Inspector Chidi Leo, told the court that the defendant committed the offence sometimes in March at Kawo, Kaduna.
Leo alleged that the defendant fraudulently converted the sum of N2 million belonging to Linda Timothy and two others.
The prosecutor said that the defendant allegedly collected money from the complainants to get goods for them when she travelled.
He added that the defendant refused to buy the goods for them; instead she converted the money to her own use.
Leo said all efforts made by the complainants to get their money back proved abortive.
He said that the offence contravened Section 383 and punishable under Section 390 (8), (a), (b), and 3of the Penal Code of Kaduna State, 2017.
The prosecutor asked the court for adjournment to enable him study the case file and present his witnesses.
