A 35-year-old woman, Abigail Moses, has been arraigned before a Kaduna Magistrates’ Court over alleged criminal breach of trust and misappropriation involving N6.7 million belonging to her employer.
Moses, who resides in Kabala West, Kaduna State, is accused of diverting funds from sales transactions of her former employer, Vincent & Sons Trading Company Nigeria Ltd, where she worked as a secretary.
According to the prosecution, led by Leo Chidi, the case was reported at the Gabasawa Police Station on April 28 by one Kingsley Vincent, following the discovery of financial discrepancies during an internal audit.
The prosecutor told the court that the audit revealed missing funds, which Moses allegedly failed to account for.
Moses, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The case was adjourned to June 25 for further hearing.
