Man charged with fraudulent purchase of rams

A 49-year-old man, Solomon Alabi, has been charged before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court in Lagos over fraudulent purchase of four rams valued at N570,000.

The accused, whose address is unknown, was said to have issued a cheque for the rams, but same was dishonoured at the bank due to insufficient fund.
