A 25-year-old woman has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly embezzling N3 million from a catering company. The arrest was confirmed by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement to the News Agency of Nigeria.
According to Hundeyin, the suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, was implicated in a scheme with her colleagues to divert funds from the sale of the company’s products into their personal accounts. Instead of depositing the full amount into the company’s account, only a small portion was remitted.
Hundeyin revealed that over N3 million has been traced to the suspect’s account. She is currently in detention under a remand warrant while the investigation continues.
