A 20-year-old housemaid, Loveth Emmanuel, has been arraigned before an Ebute-Meta Magistrate’s Court for allegedly stealing N700,000 from the safes of her boss, Rufus.
The Punch reports that Emmanuel used a stick of broom to open four safes and stole the money at their residence on Sholanke street in the Ebute-Meta area of Lagos state. The money was meant for her boss' children’s school fees. After the deed, she was said to have tried running away by jumping into a fast moving vehicle. But he was caught.
