Househelp steals employer's valuables 11 days after employment
A domestic househelp, Ben Peters, who stole his employer's valuables has been apprehended by the police.
The Lagos state police arrested the suspect, whose real name is Usang Effiong, alongside his accomplice, Mathew Abam.
Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti,
in a statement, revealed that the suspect was nabbed at his hideout in
the Agege area of Lagos two months after he disappeared and some of the
stolen items were recovered.
According to the statement, the suspect
confessed to how he committed the crime with the help of the couple's
former domestic help, Abam.
He narrated that after finding out where Mr.
Okoye keeps his bedroom key, he duplicated the living room key to gain
access to the room.
Oti said, "It was on October 23 that he
made up his mind to break into the couple's bedroom. And to do so
undetected, he disconnected the CCTV camera that would have recorded his
activities, picked up the bedroom key and constructively broke into the
couple's room, stole their valuables and thereafter, drove off with
their car."
The suspect also disclosed that robbing the
couple was an easy task for him following the tips he got from the
domestic help who was dismissed before he was employed.
Peters confessed that his accomplice is a member of his syndicate and had briefed him with all the necessary information.
