Shocking Confession Of Lagos House Girl Who Robbed Master To Pay Mother ’s Surgery

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a housemaid who
robbed her madam of cash and valuables worth several millions of
Naira. Also in Police net is the elder brother to the house help.
The housemaid, Chidima (other names withheld) and her brother,
Emma, indigenes of Ebonyi State are being detained at the Special
Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) Ikeja.
Chidima who Spoke with Daily Sun said:
“I actually committed the robbery. I waited for my madam to leave
for office and I ransacked the house. I collected expensive things,
such as, laptops, tablet, Ipads, gold, phones and money. I then
called my elder brother to meet me somewhere and handed
everything to him for sale.
“After handing over the items to my brother, I returned home and
raised the alarm that robbers have raided our house. My madam
believed the story and even treated me thinking that I may have
been injured. I was crying all through and Madam was pleading with
me to stop crying so that I won’t break down.
“Sir, I must confess, I did it to raise money for my mother’s surgery.
She has been sick and our Doctor charged N500,000 for the
treatment. I begged my madam to assist me but she said she had
no money. I have tried many of our relatives, none was willing to
help and my brother kept disturbing me with phone calls. The
harassment was too much for me to bear, hence, I decided to
remedy the situation by robbing my madam.
“I may not have told my brother that I robbed my madam, but where
did he think that I got the things I gave him to sell? I am a
housemaid on a monthly salary of N20,000. My brother should stop
blaming me, after all, it was his mistake that put us in this mess. I
successfully perfected everything and my madam had no iota of sus­
picion that I did it.
“Instead of selling the items my brother started using the Tabletops
and it was through his foolishness that the police tracked and
arrested him. I was shocked when he was brought face-to-face with
me. Let him stop crying and admit what we did. Let us carry our
crosses. My only regret is that my mother is still sick and we have
been subjected to ridicules. If I had known, I would have allowed
things to work out their natural ways.”
His elder brother who was weeping like a baby said:
“She did not tell me that she stole the things. She told me that her
madam gave her the things. I was so happy and told her that I
should thank her madam for the gift but she prevented me. She said
her madam does not like people showing appreciation when she
does good things. She is my sister, so I believed her. Now that I
know the truth, I will never trust her again. I want the Police to
forgive us as we are first offenders.”
The State Commissioner Of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni said: “The
Househelp was employed three months ago through the internet.
She belongs to a syndicate that send its members to houses as
house helps with the intention to rob their employers. She would
have committed more havoc if detectives did not crack the
syndicate on time. That is why we are always appealing to the
public not to employ domestic staff through the internet.
