A 44-year-old business woman, Alice Ejike, was on Monday
arraigned in a Karmo Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, for alleged MMM
fraud.
The prosecutor, Florence Avhioboh, told the court that one
Sunday Enyi of Karmo village reported the matter at the Karmo
Police Station on September 6.
She said the complainant alleged that on July 20, the defendant
dubiously and deceitfully convinced him to invest N50,000 into an
online banking called MMM.
The complainant said the defendant told him that the money would
multiply in a month’s time, knowing that the MMM was no longer
ongoing.
Avhioboh said the defendant allegedly collected the money and
converted it to her personal use.
“When he went to collect his money as they agreed, she used her
children to prevent him from seeing her.”
Avhioboh said during police investigation, the defendant claimed
to have deposited the money into the complainant’s MMM account.
The prosecutor said the offences contravened sections 322 and
321 of the Penal Code.
The defendant denied committing the offences, while the judge,
Abubakar Sadiq, granted her bail in the sum of N20,000 and a surety
in like sum.
The case was adjourned until October 3 for hearing.
