A magistrate court sitting in Ilorin has ordered the remand in prison of one Aribisala Jeremiah, a bank staff, over an allegation of stealing N22.1 million from the bank.
The remand order was given by Magistrate Jumoke Kamson, who presided over the matter and granted the prosecutor’s application for Jeremiah’s remand.
Jeremiah was arraigned by Kwara State Police Command for allegedly defrauding the bank to the tune of N22.1 million.
The charge sheet noted: “Investigation revealed that Jeremiah, who was employed by the bank in 2019, breached the company trust, diverted the said amount, which was supposed to be credited into the financial institution account.

“Investigation further revealed that Jeremiah later diverted the fund from his friend account into his two accounts.”
The police prosecutor, Gbenga Ayeni, informed the court that the case is an advance fee fraud, which was not ordinarily bailable.
He argued that the court should consider the motion exparte attached to the police report, seeking the remand of the defendant in prison custody, pending the outcome of the police investigation into the matter.
Magistrate Jumoke Kamson, in his short ruling, granted prosecutor’s application and ordered Jeremiah’s remand.
