Two brothers, Ugochukwu Nwafor and Christian Nwafor, have been arraigned at an Enugu Magistrates’ Court on charges of alleged conspiracy and stealing N1million.
Ugochukwu, 32 and Christian, 35, from Enugu North Local Government, are facing a two-count charge of alleged conspiracy and stealing.
The defendants denied committing the offences.
Prosecutor Cajethan Ugwu said the matter was reported at Enugu Central Police Station on August 27 by the complainant, Mrs. Eunice Alegbu.
The woman told the court that she entrusted her shop to Ugochukwu, having hired him as a shop assistant, because she planned to expand her business.
She alleged that Ugochukwu used the money realised from sales to open a shop for his brother, Christian, without her knowledge.
“It was my money Ugochukwu gave to his brother, which he used to open his provision shop.
“The removal of N1, 000 000 from the shop I opened for Ugochukwu has ruined it,” Alegbu alleged.
The Magistrate, Mr. J. Agu, advised the complainant to focus on the charges when testifying on the adjourned date.
He adjourned the matter till November 8 for continuation of hearing.
