The prosecutor said that the accused fraudulently obtained N4.8 million from Dibua and Sunleye, under the pretext of assisting them to buy one Toyota Highlander 2006 model jeep and a Toyota Hiace bus.
He alleged that the accused rather than use the money for the purpose it was meant for converted the money to his personal use.
However, the accused pleaded not guilty.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs M.I. Dan-Oni, granted the accused bail in the sum of N1 million with two sureties in like sum.

She ordered that the sureties must be working in a reputable organisation and owner of landed property.
The magistrate also said that sureties should provide evidence of tax payments, while their addresses should be verified.
Dan-Oni adjourned the case to Jan. 23, for mention.
