The trio were accused of
issuing Konga an online store with two bank bounced cheques for the purchase of
the mobile devices.
Three men, John Nweke,
Stephen Anike and Kelechi Emenike were on Wednesday arraigned before the
Federal High Court in Lagos by the Police Special Fraud Unit (SFU) yesterday
for allegedly obtaining i-Phones worth N35m from one of Nigeria’s leading e-commerce
comapny, Konga, without paying for them.
According to the police,
the cheques “were dishonoured on the grounds that no funds were standing to the
credit of the drawer of the cheques in the banks which the cheques were drawn.”
They were also accused of
taking possession of the phones when they reasonably ought to have known that
they had stolen proceeds of fraud.
The defendants in their statement
pleaded not guilty to the charges.
However, Justice Abdulazeez
Anka who presided the case in his ruling adjourned till Monday, October 10 for
trial.
