Trouble began when Nkwoka, sometime in January, 2016, when took an interest-free soft loan of N9,085,000.00, which was to be paid back on may of the same year. But upon maturity Nkwoka issued issued several UBA and Diamond Bank post-dated cheques, covering the loan sum to the petitioner, which when presented to the banks, were dishonoured on the ground of lack of sufficient funds in the accounts.

He was arraigined on the following counts:

“That you, Chukwudi Kingsley Nkwoka, trading under the name and style of Chudis N. Kingster Enterprises on or about the 30th day of November, 2016 in Aba within the jurisdiction of the High Court of Abia State, did issue to Mr. Chukwuka Opara and Jackson Integrated Services, a UBA Plc cheque No. 63163867, dated 30/11/2016 for the sum of Four Million, One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand (N4,125,000.00), which when presented for payment within three months of issuance was dishonoured on the ground that there was insufficient funds in the account on which the cheque was drawn and you thereby committed an offence, contrary to Section 1 (1) (a) of the Dishonoured Cheque (Offences) Act Cap D11 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and punishable under Section 1 (1) (b) (1) of the same Act.”

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges, upon which prosecution counsel, Michael Ani, asked the court for a trial date and for the defendant to be remanded in prison custody. However, following an application by the defence counsel, I.C. Ike, Justice Abai, granted the defendant bail in the sum of One Million Naira, with one surety in like sum, who must live within the jurisdiction of the court.
