A 54- year-old man, Olusegun Akinrinlola on Tuesday appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing N690,000 from the company where he is a consultant.
Police prosecutor Clifford Ogu, an assistant superintendent, told the court that Akinrinlola committed the offence between October and November 2018 at Alausa, Ikeja.
Ogu alleged that the defendant’s company, Step Development Limited, was supposed to pay N10,000 into the Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) account.
Ogu alleged that the defendant forged the LIRS demand notice and wrote N690,000 on it and presented it to his company.
The prosecutor also alleged that the money was given to the defendant to pay into the LIRS account but instead, he converted it to his personal use.
