The police Prosecutor, Cpl. Olusegun Kokoye, told the court that Ugochukwu, sometime in August, 2015, stole the money from Emmanuel and absconded from the house.
“The
complainant had contributed a particular sum to the accused at
different times amounting to N190, 000, but when it was time to collect
the savings from the thrift, Ugochukwu was nowhere to be found.”

sum, who must be gainfully employed, and adjourned the matter till
