Police arrest woman for diversion of company’s N3m

Operatives of  Lagos State Police Command have arrested and detained a 25-year-old woman for allegedly diverting N3 million belonging to a company into her account.

The Public Relations Officer of the Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Lagos.

Hundeyin alleged that the suspect (name withheld) and her other co-workers, in a catering company, conspired and diverted money realised from the sale of the company’s products into their personal accounts.

He said that the suspects only remitted a fraction of the money to the company’s account.

Hundeyin said, “Over N3 million has so far been traced to the detained suspect’s account.

“She is in detention under a remand warrant. An investigation is ongoing.”
