A lawyer has dragged his secretary to court for alleged theft. The 21-year-old secretary, Gbenga Akindele, who allegedly bolted with his employer’s N118, 000, was charged before an Ikeja Magistrate Court yesterday, 23rd.
Akindele who lives at Agege in Lagos, is facing a charge of stealing. According to the prosecutor, Inspector Ezekiel Ayorinde, the accused committed the offence on December 17 at Tabon-Tabon in Agege.
He said Akindele, who was working as the secretary in the chambers of Mr Rotimi Akomolafe, was asked to pay some money into his employer’s account at First Bank but converted the money to personal use.
“Gbenga was sent to make payment of N79, 000 and N39, 000 into two different accounts at First Bank belonging to Akomolafe and Oluwakemi Adeniyi. He, however, converted the money to personal use,” Ayorinde said.
The accused pleaded not guilty.
