Mutual Benefits Assurance Staff In Fraud Mess
A manager of Mutual Benefits Life Assurance, Lagos, Mr. Nuhu Ahmed, has been nabbed for allegedly defrauding the company to the tune of N1.54 million.

The suspect who is now standing trial on charges of stealing and obtaining money under false pretence, has, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges levelled against him.
He was granted bail in the sum of N1 million with two sureties in like sum.
