A worker of Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Taiwo Sulyman, 30, was yesterday hauled before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing his employer’s N2million.
Police prosecutor Jimah Iseghede told Magistrate Tolu Idowu that the accused committed the offence on February 15 at 11.00 a.m. at LUTH.
According to him, the accused was instructed to deposit the N2 million in the bank for the hospital but he absconded with the money.
