A 40 year-old woman Funmilaya Ayodele, on Friday appeared in an Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court sitting in Isabo, for allegedly collecting N600,000 loan from a Church cooperative and refusing to pay back the money.

The prosecutor said that the defendant told the pastor that she wanted to use the money to open a business, promising to pay back in August.

He alleged that the defendant collected the N600,000 and failed to pay back.
