24-yr-old lady in the dock for stealing N.5m from helper

A cleaner who was given assistance by a man ended up stealing from the same helper.

Court of justice

Faith Ofeimu, a 24-year-old cleaner, has once again showed why people refuse to render assistance to others in need, by stealing the sum of N532,800, and mobile handsets from a businessman who offered her a lift.

According to Koti Aondohemba, the prosecutor who charged her before a Tinubu Magistrate’s Court sitting in Lagos, the accused committed the offence on April 24, at 11:30 pm.

Aondohemba told the court that the victim, Benson Bright, had offered the lady a lift on the night of the incident and since it was late for her to find her way home, he decided to offer her a place to sleep in his residence at 4, Tokunbo Street, Lagos Island.

But Bright was given a jolt when Ofeimu repaid him with evil by stealing the items from him.
