Olayinka was arraigned before Justice Akinyemi
on May 13, 2014 following a petition, alleging that she stole the sum
of N8, 000,000, which she received on behalf of her employer.
When the convict was confronted with the allegation,
she admitted to the crime only for her to dramatically plead not guilty upon
arraignment. In the course of trial, the EFCC presented four witnesses and tendered 16 exhibits to prove the case against the convict.
