The defendant's life would be in danger if she were released on bail, according to the judge, Yahaya Sheshi.
In light of the large number of people who were present in court for the defendant's arraignment on December 22nd, Sheshi said that the defendant would be safer in detention.
On the other hand, he ordered an expedited hearing on the subject and continued the hearing to January 16.
The defendant's defence attorney, Ibrahim Audu, had earlier been instructed by the court to submit a formal application for bail on December 22.
However, Audu filed an application for bail accompanied by a six-paragraph affidavit he personally attested to, along with a written address, asking for the defendant's release on bail while the case is being decided.
The defendant, who resides in Kubwa, Abuja, was accused by the police of criminal misappropriation, criminal breach of trust, and cheating.
She entered a not-guilty plea.
The complainant, Naomi Oluku, Managing Director of Zenith Plus Cooperative Society Limited, employed the defendant as a marketer at some point in February, according to earlier testimony from the prosecution attorney, John Okpa.
According to Okpa, the complainant delegated to the defendant the task of gathering daily donations from consumers and remitting them to the office.
According to the prosecution's attorney, the defendant received N3, 585, 070 from a number of customers but misappropriated and used the money for her own purposes.
He claimed that the act violated the Penal Code's Sections 312, 309, and 322. (NAN)
