It stated that the accused, an accountant, stole the money belonging to the NNPC Mega Filling Station.
However, when the case was mentioned for hearing , the state counsel, Mr. J. O Nathan, asked the court for an adjournment, to enable him to amend the charge and to file an application to provide additional evidence.
