Lagos, August 20, 2024 – A 25-year-old woman has been arrested and detained by Lagos State Police Command for allegedly diverting N3 million belonging to a catering company into her personal account.
According to SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, the suspect, whose name has been withheld, is accused of conspiring with other co-workers to divert funds generated from the sale of the company’s products.
“The suspects only remitted a fraction of the money to the company’s account,” Hundeyin stated. “Over N3 million has so far been traced to the detained suspect’s account.”
The suspect is currently in detention under a remand warrant, and an investigation into the matter is ongoing.
This incident highlights the growing concern over financial fraud within businesses, particularly in the catering industry. Police investigations are expected to determine the full extent of the alleged conspiracy and identify any other individuals involved.
