Mariam Salifu, residing at Karimo in the FCT, was arraigned on a two-count charge of criminal breach of trust and theft. The convict had earlier admitted to absconding with the money. Mr. Phillip Appolos Earlier, from the side of the prosecution, had previously told the court that one Christopher Nwozor of Life Camp, Abuja, reported the matter at the Life Camp Police Station on August 19. He said that the accused, who is a cashier at C.C. Royal Fishing, was told to deposit N3.15 million into the company’s account in Diamond Bank at Wuse Zone 2.
