children in Magodo, and today Vanguard is reporting how a newly employed house help

Operatives at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Lagos,

rob her boss (names withheld) in Magodo Estate, Lagos State.

According to reports, the housemaid, simply identified as
Mary, connived with the robbers, identified as Ikong Daniel, 22, her lover, and
Pius Dennis, 20, to rob her boss a few days after she was employed.

During interrogation, the suspects revealed that Mary took
them into her boss’ bedroom, where they stole her money, gold jewellery and
other valuables.

However, trouble started when the maid escaped with the
proceeds of the operation. Unfortunately, Ikong Daniel and Pius Dennis were
arrested while attempting to escape.

Suspect’s account

Confessing to the crime, Daniel said: “It was my girlfriend,
Mary, that perfected the plan to rob her madam. She recently started work there
as a housemaid and invited us to the house. I did not plan with Mary to rob her
boss. We have been dating for about three months.

“Dennis got involved because I invited him. I told him that
when he closed from work he should come to my house, because it had been over a
year since we saw each other.

“After he closed, we went to my house in Ikorodu. When we
got home, my girlfriend, Mary, called me on phone that I should come to where
she was working at Magodo.

“I did not have money. It was Dennis that loaned me money
for transportation from Ikorodu to Magodo. When we got there, she opened the
gate and took us inside.

“When we got there, she said we should come inside that we
have an assignment to carry out. She took us inside to her madam’s bedroom and
asked us to hold the woman that there was money in the house.

“I do not know the exact amount or the worth the jewelleries
she collected.

“It was Mary that also brought the knife we used to frighten
the woman during the operation. I assisted her to hold the woman, while she
parked her valuables.

“Mary, who is also from Cross River State, was able to
escape with the proceeds from the operation.

“She promised to share with us whatsoever we made from the
operation.”

Dennis, a commercial bike operator, confirmed Daniel’s
story, adding “we were almost out of the estate when operatives of Oodua
Peoples Congress, OPC, apprehended us and brought us to Special Anti Robbery
Squad, SARS.

“It was Daniel that held the madam down, while his
girlfriend packed the jewellery, money and other valuables.

“The mistake I made was not leaving when I realized that his
girlfriend had invited us to rob her boss.”
