A 23-year-old supermarket staff, Abiola Agbaje, has pleaded guilty to a two-count charge of stealing and breach of peace for using his employer's N900,000 to gamble on Bet Naija.
Agbaje was arraigned before an Ejigbo Magistrates' Court in Lagos, where he admitted to committing the offenses on June 26.
According to the prosecutor, ASP Benedict Aigbokhan, Agbaje used the money without his employer's consent, contravening Sections 168(d) and 287(7) of the Criminal Law of Lagos, 2015. The Magistrate, Miss K. A. Ariyo, adjourned the case until July 12 for review of facts and sentencing.
