Police in Lagos have arraigned an AIICO Insurance manager, Francis Aniamalu, before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly defrauding customers of N9.4 million.
Mr Aniamalu, on Friday, denied charges of conspiracy, forgery, fraud and obtaining under false pretence.

The offences, the prosecutor said, contravened Sections 287, 314, 363 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
Chief magistrate Adeola Adedayo granted the defendant bail of N3 million with two sureties each in like sum.
