Maid remanded for stealing N1.1m ring

A Dei-Dei Grade 1 Area Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, ordered the remand of a 22-year old domestic help, Abigail Sunday, for allegedly stealing her employer’s diamond ring valued at N1.1 million.

Sunday, a resident of Duru Dawaki, was charged with theft by the police but pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, Chinedu Ogada, told the court that the complainant, Stephanie Udoju, reported the matter at the Dawaki Police Station on January 6, 2023.

Ogada said the complainant, on January 3, noticed that her diamond ring was missing and confronted the defendant who confessed that she took the ring.

The prosecutor further told the court that during police investigation, the defendant could not give a satisfactory account of the missing ring.

He said all effort made by police to recover the ring failed, adding that the offence contravened the provisions of Section 289 of Penal Code.

The presiding judge, Saminu Suleiman, however, ordered that Sunday should be kept in a correctional centre at Suleja and adjourned until January 20 for hearing.
