Ahw was arrested, alongside one Emmanuel Ozogie, a security guard whom she gave $300 and moved to Ebonyi State.
The police also recovered $3,000 from her while she gave part of the money to her father to commence his building.
Confirming the arrest, the spokesperson of the Lagos state police command, Benjamin Hundeyin said;
She is smart. To avoid being tracked, she dumped her phone with SIM in a spot in Lagos without switching it off. So, while the police were tracking the phone, she was out of Lagos,” the PPRO said.
“After she stole the money, her employer, who failed to do the due diligence before employing her or asking about her family or where she stays, reported to the police. We started an investigation, which led us to Ebonyi State, where she was arrested. The suspects are to be charged to court soon.”
