A Magistrates’ Court sitting in the Ota area of Ogun State has sentenced a 24-year-old Point of Sales (PoS) attendant, Yusuf Olamilekan, to 18 months imprisonment for gambling with N1 million belonging to his employer.
The prosecutor, Inspector E.O. Adaraloye, told the court that the PoS attendant committed the offence at Sango-Ota in Ogun State on April 7, 2025.
