THE Lagos State Police Command has arrested a housemaid who robbed her
madam of cash and valuables worth several millions of Naira. Also in Police net is the elder brother to the house help.
The housemaid, Chidima (other names withheld) and her brother, Emma, indi
genes of Ebonyi State are being detained at the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) Ikeja.
Chidima who Spoke with Daily Sun News said:“I actually committed the robbery. I waited for my madam to leave for office and I ransacked the house. I collected
expensive things, such as, laptops, tablet, Ipads, gold, phones and money. I then called my elder brother to meet me somewhere and handed everything to
him for sale.“After handing over the items to my brother, I returned home and raised the alarm that robbers have raided our house. My madam believed the story and even
treated me thinking that I may have been injured. I was crying all
through and Madam was pleading with me to stop crying so that I won’t
break down.
“Sir, I must confess, I did it to raise money for my mother’s surgery. She has
been sick and our Doctor charged N500,000
for the treatment. I begged my madam to assist me but she said she had
no money. I have tried many of our rela tives, none was willing to help
and my brother kept disturbing me with phone calls. The harassment was
too much for me to bear, hence, I decided to remedy the situation by
robbing my madam.
“I may not have told my brother that I robbed my madam, but where did he
think that I got the things I gave him to sell? I am a housemaid on a monthly
salary of N20,000. My brother should stop blaming me, after all, it was his
mistake that put us in this mess. I successfully perfected everything and my madam had no iota of suspicion that I did it.
“Instead of selling the items my brother started using the Tabletops and it was
through his foolishness that the police tracked and arrested him. I was shocked
when he was brought face-to-face with me. Let him stop crying and admit what
we did. Let us carry our crosses. My only regret is that my mother is still sick and we have been subjected to ridicules. If I had known, I would have allowed things to work out their natural ways.”
Her
elder brother who was weeping like a baby said: “She did not tell me
that she stole the things. She told me that her madam gave her the
things. I was so
happy and told her that I should thank
her
madam for the gift but she prevented me. She said her madam does not
like people showing appreciation when she does good things. She is my
sister, so I believed her. Now that I know the truth, I will never trust
her again. I want the Police to forgive us as we are first offenders.”
So if their mum badly
needed surgery and the brother had been disturbing her for money,why
didnt he sell the laptop but started using it?*thinking*
