access to the company’s money and allegedly stole N1, 960, 000 to play lotto. 
 
It was alleged that the woman stole the money in piecemeal to play the lotto
game with the hope that she would win a lot
of money and then return her employer’s money. 
 
However, things did not work out as she allegedly planned because she did not
win any prize before the company discovered the <a href="http://naijanewsmag.com/blog/2013/05/funny-woman-squanders-employers-n1.9m-on-baba-ijebu" id="_GPLITA_1" title="Click to Continue > by Browse to Save">missing money</a> and arrested her. 
When she was arraigned, she pleaded not guilty. 
 
Owolope was granted bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
She was, however, remanded in Kirikiri Prison, Lagos pending when she will meet her bail conditions. The matter was adjourned till 3
July, 2013. 
 
When P.M.NEWS contacted the suspect, she denied that she stole and used the
money to play <a href="http://naijanewsmag.com/blog/2013/05/funny-woman-squanders-employers-n1.9m-on-baba-ijebu" id="_GPLITA_0" title="Click to Continue > by Browse to Save">lottery</a> as alleged by her employer. She told our reporter
that the whole thing was planned to implicate her. 
 
“The truth will surely come out,” she said, reiterating that she was accused
wrongly.</div>
