Ambode’s chef remanded for stealing

A Sabo-Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Lagos, on Monday, March 11, 2024 remanded former Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode’s chef, Victor Abayomi, for allegedly stealing valuables worth millions at his Ikoyi residence.

The Chief Magistrate, Mr. Peter Nwaka, ordered the remand of the defendant for 30 days in Ikoyi Correctional Centre.

Nwaka, however, adjourned the case until April 8, for investigation and presentation of facts.

Abayomi, whose house address was not provided, is standing trial on a two-court charge of conspiracy and theft.

Earlier, the legal officer, Joshua Babalola, an official of the Department of State Service (DSS), told the court that Abayomi and some others still at large committed the offences at the residence of the former governor.

Babalola alleged that the defendant carted away valuable items worth millions of naira from his employer’s residence at Ikoyi.

He said the defendant absconded to Old Garage, Molorundo Local Government Area of Osun State, where he was arrested by Ambode’s DSS on March 7.

The offences, Babalola said, contravened sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
