The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned an accountant, Oguibe Nkwachukwu, and his company, Wifamapp Royalty Global Limited, before the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja over the alleged theft of about N200 million.
The prosecution accused the defendant of stealing the money from Travelstar Web Logistics Limited.
In a statement on Monday, the anti-graft agency said Mr Nkwachukwu, who served as an accountant with the logistics firm, was arraigned alongside his company before a judge, Rahman Oshodi on 13 counts of stealing and dishonest conversion of funds.
According to the EFCC, the defendant allegedly diverted various sums of money entrusted to him by his employer into personal accounts under the guise of legitimate business transactions.
