“Although Oriyomi, who is from Oke-Ode, Ifelodun Local Government Area, rose from general secretary in 2018 to the position of accountant in 2022, an audit in March 2023 revealed that N184 million only was criminally misappropriated from the company account, which the accountant could not give a satisfactory explanation on.
The prosecutor, Gbenga Ayeni, urged the court to remand the suspect.
In his ruling, Magistrate Gbadeyan Kamson, ordered the remand of the suspects and adjourned the case to April 17, 2023.
