Maid accused of swallowing N36M says she’s innocent

Ok, just so you know, we aren’t done with the snake swallowing story from Makurdi as spilled by Philomena Chieshe, a clerk with the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

Not by a long shot.

According to Chieshe, when she left N36million in her office vault, a mysterious snake deployed by her housemaid, went to this vault and swallowed all of the money.

Here’s Chieshe’s short account

“It was a mystery to me too. I have been saving the money in the bank, but I found it difficult to account for it.

"So I started saving it in a vault in the office. But each time I open the vault, I will find nothing. I became worried and surprised how the millions of Naira could be disappearing from the vault.

"I began to interrogate everybody in the house and office, and no one could agree on what might have happened to the money. I continued to press until my housemaid confessed.

"She said that the money disappeared spiritually. She said that a mysterious snake sneaked into the house and swallowed the money in the vault."

'Madam sent me out'

Thankfully, DailyPost has now tracked down this maid for her version of events.

The maid’s name was given as Dor, a native of Angantiv in Obi LGA of Nasarawa State.

As you’d expect, she denies she was the snake or worked with one.

Dor told DailyPost that her ‘madam’ truly went to Plateau State for a conference last year but that she didn’t accompany her to this conference.

According to Dor, a couple of days after Chieshe returned from the church crusade hosted by a popular man of God in Jos, she asked her to leave the house because the rest of the family was relocating to Abuja.

“That was towards the end of 2017. I was at home when they went for the crusade. When madam came back from Jos, she asked me to go that they were relocating to Abuja and she would not go with me.

“I came to her house in 2015 July and I did not at any point steal even her one kobo before I left last year. Maybe she was not referring to me, but I am sure she didn’t have any maid before and after me,” Dor reportedly said.

JAMB has promised to hand Chieshe over to the police after the conclusion of an internal investigation.
