A businesswoman, Monalisa Okoye, who allegedly obtained N122 million from a customer under false pretence, was at the weekend, arraigned at an Igbosere Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.
Okoye, 35, who operated under the name, ‘Throne of Grace Interior and Events’, Victoria Island, Lagos, was arraigned before Mrs. K. S. Abdulsalami, by the Force Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department (FCIID), Alagbon, Lagos.
She is standing trial on a 10-count charge of fraud, stealing and issuance of dud cheques.
Prosecuting counsel Morufu Animashaun said the defendant committed the offences between September and January this year at 19, Aboyade Cole Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
He alleged that Okoye obtained the money from Mr. Emmanuel Olabode on the pretence of supplying him interior furniture.
The court heard that following a breakdown of the deal, she issued Zenith Bank cheques to Olabode, which were rejected upon presentation due to insufficient funds in her account.
The offences, according to the prosecutor, contravened sections 32, 287 and 340 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
This is the moment a gunman's attempted robbery on young children and families was foiled by a waiting mother - who turned out to be an off-duty armed policewoman.
Dramatic security footage shows a suspect named as Elivelton Neves Moreira, 21, approaching the crowd with a gun outside a private school in Sao Paulo.
But his attempted crime backfired when military police officer Katia da Silva Sastre, 42, pulled out her own weapon and unleashed three shots.
It showed Moreira, who later died in hospital, falling backwards and clutching his chest before Sastre shoves him on to his front with her foot having thrown her handbag aside on Saturday morning.
Officer Sastre is being hailed a hero for her act of bravery and was honored in a ceremony by Sao Paulo Governor Márcio França on Sunday.
Officer Sastre is a mother to two girls, aged seven and two. She has worked on the force for 20 years and is also married to a police lieutenant.
A teenager doused in acid on her doorstep by a thug in a ski mask has described the moment she felt like her "skin was melting off."
Alma Ponce, 18, was scarred for life as she returned home from work with her mother, Patricia Ponce and brother, Luis Ruiz, eight, last year.
The attacker unscrewed a lightbulb on her porch so it would be dark and as her mother tried to unlock the front door, he raced around the side of the house.
He then tossed a vial of acid in her face before running off.
She instantly ran to her little brother's paddling pool to help cool her burns and ease the pain, but nothing helped.
Alma, of Oak Cliff in Dallas, Texas, said: "I just didn’t know what to do, it was just seconds but it felt like a long time.
"All I could feel instantly was this burning sensation on my neck and face. It was awful.
"It got into my eye so I couldn’t see. It felt like my skin was melting off.
"I ran down the porch to my little brother’s kiddy pool and I just threw myself in.
"I was wearing a work hat and when I took it off the skin of my forehead came off with it. I really thought I was done, I thought I was going to die. The pain was so bad."
Police believe it was a racially motivated attack as graffiti had been sprayed on the side of her house, reading: 'Alma, n***** loving w****.'
The slur led Dallas Police to believe the attack was racially motivated because Alma had previously dated an African-American.
The sales rep was rushed to hospital with second degree burns on her face, neck and chest, and had to undergo a series of skin grafts.
She added: "I think about this attack every day and it will be something I think about for the rest of my life.
"I wake up every morning and I just hope it was a dream but it never is because then I see my scars in the mirror.
"I’m not the same person I was last year. I’ve become really paranoid.’ ‘At night I get scared. I think the could be around that corner waiting for me again."
The police have never found her attacker.
Alma now lives in fear the attacker – who has not been caught – will strike again. I’m really not hopeful that they’ll ever catch who did this," she said.
"I was unable to tell the police anything about him and it all happened so quickly. At first I was so angry and upset but I realized my anger was pointless.
"Right now I’m just focusing on moving on with my life."
It's her first Mother's Day after welcoming baby True to the world just a month ago. And it appears to be turning out well for Khloe Kardashian who shared the first Instagram video of her beautiful newborn daughter on Saturday.
The 33-year-old gushed over the tot calling her 'a pretty girl' before taking to Twitter to point out how much the little girl looks like her dad.
'Tristan and True are twins lol it's crazy,' she tweeted. 'Maybe her eyes will stay light and I can get something lol.'
On Mother's Day itself, the reality star shared a delightful social media photo of a profusion of pink and white roses spelling out the word Mommy laid out on a table at her home in Cleveland, Ohio.
True, obviously, is still too tiny to order gifts but there was nothing to indicate that her dad had sent them on her behalf.
Khloe didn't forget to wish her own mom, Kris Jenner, 62, a happy day
