The Punch reports that Emmanuel used a
stick of broom to open four safes and stole the money at their residence
on Sholanke street in the Ebute-Meta area of Lagos state. The money was
meant for her boss' children’s school fees. After the deed, she was
said to have tried running away by jumping into a fast moving vehicle.
But he was caught.
A 20-year-old housemaid, Loveth
Emmanuel, has been arraigned before an Ebute-Meta Magistrate’s Court for
allegedly stealing N700,000 from the safes of her boss, Rufus.
Describing Emmanuel as an ingrate who did
not appreciate everything done for her, Rufus said he gave her the
same privilege as his children since he came into their house about a
year ago.
But the Cross-river state indigene
claimed that her boss got her arrested because she wanted to sit for an
examination, adding that it was when she was not given time for the exam
that she decided to flee. She went on to say that the stolen money
issue happened since July 2016, and she had been forgiven until she was
arrested while going for the exam. She went further to say that since
sh'e been staying with Rufus, she's not had any breathing space in the
house.
She was, however, arraigned on two counts of stealing. And the case was adjourned till January 25, 2017.
