Teacher Dupes Students Of N500,000 In Lagos


    
    A school teacher, Abayomi Abdul on Thursday appeared before an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court for allegedly obtaining N500,000 from 14 students under false pretences.
    The 49-year-old teacher who resides at No. 16, Singer Road, Ota, Ogun is facing a three-count of breach of peace, obtaining money under false pretences and stealing.
     The Prosecutor, Sgt. Mike Unah, told the court that the accused committed the offences in May 2014 at Mercy Secondary School, Funsho Owolabi Estate in Abule Egba.
    According to him, Abdul obtained N500, 000 from 14 students on the pretext of registering them for Junior School Certificate Examination. “The teacher, who had no intention of registering the students as promised, converted the money to personal use.
    “When the school authority did not get any feedback from the accused, he was confronted and told to refund the money. The accused, however, failed to refund the money. The case was reported to the police and the accused was arrested for further questioning,” he added.
    Sgt Unah noted that the offences contravened Sections 166, 285 and 312 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011 which section 312 prescribes a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment for offenders.
     The Magistrate, Mrs A.O. Gbajumo in her ruling granted the accused bail in the sum of N300, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
