He said the defendant converted the money to personal use and all efforts made by the complainant to get her money proved abortive.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Section 287 stipulates three years jail term for stealing.
The Magistrate, Mr J.A. Adegun, granted the defendant N500,000 bail with two sureties in like sum.
Adegun adjourned the case until March 2 for mention.
