Abdulramon faced charges of stealing and fraudulent false accounting, brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, and he was arraigned on August 19, 2013. The charges, which violated Sections 390 and 335 (d) of the criminal laws of Lagos State 2003, were related to his role as the cashier at Prime Grocers International Limited. This company, specializing in wholesale and retail consumer goods and situated in the Oke Arin area of Lagos State, entrusted him with collecting payments, documenting them in his cash register, and depositing the funds into the designated bank account.

However, instead of fulfilling his duties, Abdulramon allegedly deleted invoices and diverted significant amounts of money paid by customers and lodgers. The fraud went undetected until 2012 when an audit of the computer software, prompted by a tip-off about invoice deletions, revealed the illicit activities. The offences occurred between January 2009 and 2012.

Throughout the trial, the prosecution presented six witnesses, including the complainant, Constance Obi. She informed the court that she first encountered Abdulramon in 2002 when the company began importing goods. Initially a casual laborer, Abdulramon secured permanent employment in 2004 after seeking assistance from Obi.
