A 60-year-old woman, Mrs. Kate Njoku, was on Wednesday remanded in prison custody by an Akure chief magistrate’s court over fraud.

Mrs Njoku was docked on a five-count charge of forgery. She was accused of committing the offence with other suspects now at large.
The prosecutor, Adejuwon Akinpelumi, told the count that the offence is contrary to section 464(C) and punishable under section 467(2)(g) of the Criminal Code, cap 37, laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006.
Akinpelumi also told the court that the offence was committed at various times on May 19 and June 9 at the Union Bank Plc in Akure, the state capital.
The prosecutor said the accused falsely represented herself as Iroha M.A. before the cashiers of Union Bank Plc with a forged bank note withdrawal slip of the same bank with intent to defraud the bank. He added that Njoku was arrested when she fraudulently converted the sum of N1.678 million to her own use, being the money entrusted into the care of the Union Bank Plc.
The accused person, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Chief Magistrate, Sunday Adedapo, ordered the accused to be remanded in Olokuta prison in Akure, while the case was adjourned to June 22, 2015 .
