A dismissed worker of Tecno phones Nigeria Ltd, Stella Chimezie, has been arrested for conspiring with four men to rob her former employer in Abuja.
Chimezie, along with Abdulazeez
Abdulraseed, Okafor Okwudili, Moses
Joseph and Peter Akoo, were paraded by
the FCT Police Commissioner, Wilson
Inalegwu, on Tuesday, for stealing four
Tecno phones and seven phone screens
valued at N500,000.
According to Punch ,Inalegwu explained that
Chimezie invited the men to burgle the
company office, but the robbers
surprisingly attacked and robbed her of her
phones and handbag as well.
But in the course of the police
investigations, the CP stated that it was
discovered that it was Chimezie that invited
the suspects to burgle her former employer's office.
Chimezie, however, denied conniving with the men to rob, saying the Tecno phones
and the phone screens that were recovered from them belonged to the company where she worked.
She said,
"It is not true that I invited the men to steal phones at my former office; what happened was that two of the men worked as security guards in my office and on December 16, 2014, when I went to the office, I found that they have used the key in their care to open the office and they took some phones.When I challenged them, they promised to sell the phone and give me part of the money, but they later attacked me and snatched my
phones and bag.
The CP also paraded 25 armed robbery
suspects and one Akorgwu Noah of the
National Hospital, Abuja,for allegedly
stabbing John Akor to death with a broken
beer bottle while celebrating Christmas at a
bar in Kubwa.
He said that the command has so far
recovered 17 stolen vehicles, 14 of which
had been released to their owners. He
added that over 203 stolen cattle had also
been recovered from rustlers who operated
from Nasarawa, Niger and Kogi States.
"The suspects will be charged to court after
investigations are concluded," Inalegwu
said.
