An Ikeja High Court on Tuesday remanded a 28-year-old female banker, Tejumola Okemakinde, and two others in prison over an alleged N135m theft.

Justice Olutoyin Ipaye ordered the remand of Okemakinde and her alleged accomplices, Ige Egbeyemi, 50, and Olukayode Adeoye, 32, in prison, after their arraignment.

They are to remain in prison pending the hearing of the bail applications, fixed for November 11.

Okemakinde lives at 26, Animasaun Street, Ijeshatedo, Lagos; Egbeyemi is of Plot 3, Block 4, Flat 2, Iba Housing Estate, Lagos, while Adeoye, lives at 30, Felicia Kokosho Street, Opebi, Lagos.

The defendants and their companies— Povyte Ventures Ltd., Whales and Chase Ltd. and Tenumola Onike Enterprise Ltd.; were charged to court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that they are facing 34 counts of conspiracy, stealing, forgery, uttering and use of false documents.

The EFCC counsel, Mrs. Fadeke Giwa, alleged that they committed the offences between May and September, 2011 at Apapa, Lagos.

Giwa said they had conspired with one Irene Egbeyemi (now at large) to steal the money belonging to LilyPond Containers Ltd.

She accused them of forging various documents and bank cheques to facilitate the theft.
