The accused person had allegedly obtained the fast-moving items on credit from the complainant, the Kellogg Company of South Africa (Pty) Limited (Kellogg’s SA) in 2015.
The complainant further alleged that the accused person, who promised to repay within three months, became elusive after receiving the items.

In view of his plea, the prosecution counsel, Muritala Said Usman, asked the court for a trial date and prayed that the accused be remanded in prison custody.
Counsel to the defendant, Maduka Ken Nwanna, told the court that there was a pending application for bail.
Consequently, Justice Nicol-Cray's adjourned the case to January 24, 2017 for hearing of the bail application and ordered that the accused person be remanded in prison custody.
