Cattle Seller Docked For Issuing Dud Cheque
A 52-year-old man,
Abraham Inyambe, was last Tuesday arraigned before an Asaba Chief Magistrate’ Court for allegedly issuing a dud cheque of N900,000 to one Mr John Osuyali.
The cattle seller is standing trial on a two-court charge of fraud and issuance of dud cheque.
The prosecutor, Mrs Ndidi Ahamefula, told the court that the accused on July 1, at the GRA Police Station, Asaba, issued a dishonoured Keystone Bank cheque of N900,000 to Osuyali.
The prosecutor told the court that the number of the cheque was 29671306.
Ahamefula said the accused had obtained N1.9 million from Osuyali under false pretence.
She further said the accused had refused to pay back the money after efforts by the complainant to collect his money.
The prosecutor said the offence of obtaining under false pretence contravened the Criminal Code Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
She added that the second offence contravened the Dishonoured Cheque Offences Act Laws of Delta, 2006.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Steve Okebu, did not take the plea of the accused and said the court had no jurisdiction over the case.
Okebu ordered that duplicate copy of the case file be sent to the office of the director of public prosecutor for advice.
He also ordered that the accused be remanded in prison custody and adjourned the case to October 31 for mention.
