A domestic worker, identified only as Blessing, has gone into hiding after allegedly stealing money and jewellery valued at over N13.9m from her boss\u2019 residence in the Victoria Island area of Lagos State.<\/p>\n

Blessing\u2019s boss, Pearl Ogbulu, on Tuesday, said the suspect allegedly perpetrated the crime<\/a> about a week after she started working with her.<\/p>\n

She said the Cross River State indigene had remained incommunicado since the incident <\/a>happened.<\/p>\n

PUNCH Metro<\/em>\u00a0gathered that an agent, Joshua Amaha, introduced Blessing to Ogbulu, who was not at home on the day the domestic worker visited her residence for an interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ogbulu said her parents, who lived with her, took Blessing in, adding that during the interview with the domestic worker the following day, she (Ogbulu) informed her that she would undergo a test and registration at a police station.<\/p>\n

She said plans were underway for the test and registration when the 25-year-old took advantage of her absence to steal her property.<\/p>\n

Ogbulu said, \u201cHer name could be an alias, but she identified herself as Blessing. She also mentioned that her name was Ihi, from Cross River State. She is 25 years old and has a one-year-old child. She started working with me around 8.30pm last Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agent told me she would come on Saturday for an interview, but I didn\u2019t see her. Only for the agent to tell me she was already on her way that Sunday and when she didn\u2019t arrive early, I went out. I returned around 1.30am and was about to go to work the next day when I interviewed her and told her about the test and registration.<\/p>\n

\u201cJanuary 13 was my brother\u2019s birthday and Blessing was standing on the third floor when I went into my room to bring out two envelopes containing N500,000 and N200,000. I gave my brother N50,000, and also gave him and my mother $100 each. I kept the remaining money inside my room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ogbulu said she went for a party the following Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I returned from the party, I entered the compound and called my dad to open the door. But when he came down to open it, he said the door was not locked. My dad quickly searched Blessing\u2019s room and said she had packed all her things and fled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe security guard said he didn\u2019t see her leaving. I knew I locked my room, but I was surprised when I saw the door open. I went straight to where I kept my money and realised that the envelopes containing the naira notes were gone. She stole two wristwatches, one of which cost $5,500; my daughter\u2019s earrings valued at $3300. She also took $5000, 300 pounds and N200,000. She took all my jewellery worth over $10,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

The businesswoman said the agent gave him Blessing\u2019s brother\u2019s number and her address in Ikorodu, adding that the number was unreachable and the address was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI asked for Blessing\u2019s brother\u2019s number and address in Ikorodu and the agent said the place was in Ijede. He gave me her brother\u2019s number, which did not go through, but\u00a0Truecaller<\/em>\u00a0brought out a name, Elebe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe parked my vehicle at the NNPC Filling Station along Ijede Road and took a tricycle to scan the whole area looking for the address, but found no place like that. The tricycle operator charged me N7,500.<\/p>\n

\u201cI called the agent and he said he was not coming to help us. He said the same thing had happened <\/a>before and that the madam arrested him and he suffered for days in police custody. I reported the case to the IRT and DSS.<\/p>\n

Efforts to hear from Joshua proved abortive as calls to his number did not connect.<\/p>\n

The Commander, Police Intelligence Response Team, Tunji Disu, said, \u201cI am yet to receive an official complaint on the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n[PUNCH]\n
