An 18 year-old-girl identified as Mercy Odita has been arraigned before a Magistrate Court in Lagos for allegedly stealing employer's jewelry and other items worth N5.5m.
The suspect, Mercy Odita works for one Mrs Ngozi Okeke, who lives on Road 8, Abraham Adesanya Estate in Ajah.
Mercy claimed that she gave the stolen items to one Peter and an elderly man yet to be identified, adding that she was forced to steal the jewelries.
According to reports, the house-help met two strangers at the market the previous day who advised her to break into her employer's apartment and do away with the said items.
On the day the incident occurred, Mrs Okeke was away to visit her sick mother.
The accused who had earlier stolen the key to her employer's bedroom broke in and stole the accessories belonging to Okeke.
The stolen items include; necklaces, wristwatches and rings which she delivered to the said men at an agreed location. Also she gave them the sum of N2,000 given to her by Okeke to buy some items.
Odita then reported herself to the Maroko Police Station after delivering the stolen items to the men who are yet to be found.
Mrs. A. T. Omoyele of the Lagos Magistrate in Lagos Island charged the accused as follows; "That you Mercy Odita, and others now at large, on February 10, 2015, at about 9am on Road 8, Abraham Adesanya Estate, Ajah, did steal gold jewellery valued at N5,523,000, property of one Ngozi Okeke and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 285 (7) of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011."
The accused pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of N500, 000 with two sureties, who must be gainfully employed and show evidence of tax payment to the Lagos state government.
Omoyele, however, adjourned the case till March 23, 2015.
