According to the complainant, the suspect between March 2020 and January 2021, sold goods worth the said amount and fraudulently collected monies from various customers using his personal account rather than the company’s account.
Investigations into the matter revealed that the suspect has severe gambling problem as he spent over N4m placing bets on daily basis with almost nothing to show for it.
