The absence of a defendant, Cecilia Chikaodili, on Friday stalled proceeding in a case of alleged N14 million fraud before a FCT High Court, Kubwa, Abuja.

In the suit, Chikaodili, while working with Platinum Mortgage Bank, Abuja, sometime in 2013 to 2014, collected sums of money from customers under the pretence to help them process housing mortgage with the bank.She, however, allegedly diverted the money for her personal use.

The prosecuting counsel, Mr Simon Lough, told the court that the defendant had been on an administrative bail.

Lough, however, explained that he had no idea why she was absent in court.
