A housekeeper, Bose Vitawan, who allegedly absconded with her employer’s jewelry valued at N3m was on Tuesday brought before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
The accused, 24, is being tried on two counts of conspiracy and stealing to which she pleaded innocence.
The Prosecutor, Insp. Daniel Ighodalo, said the accused with others at large committed the offences on September 2 at No. 307, Banana Island, Lagos.
He alleged that the accused fled with 18 pieces of gold watches, 15 pieces of gold rings, 10 sets of gold necklace and earrings and 10 costume beads, all valued at N3 million belonging to her employer.
The offences, he noted, contravened Sections 285 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.
The Chief Magistrate, Abimbola Awogboro, admitted her to a bail of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Section 285 prescribes a three-year jail term, while Section 409 provides two years for offenders.
Further hearing has been fixed for November 9.

#Sorry works when a mistake is made, but not when trust is broken. So in luge, make mistakes but never break trust because forgiving is easy, but forgetting n trusting again is sometimes impossible.

ReplyDeleteLol that's correct.
DeleteBanana things, some peeps be keeping valued thingz at home.Anyway plenty money...
ReplyDeleteSome people actually deserve this kind of theft....I don't care what the story is...my point is maybe the house owner has either been maltreating the house girl or owing her...that's how most bosses behave...very wicked things. They deserve it.
ReplyDeleteIf the boss was owing her she had the right to report to the appropriate authorities and not to take what she wasent given. In a case of maltreatment how about resigning? . Please don't talk like this because it may come around to you.
