Househelp Arrested For Stealing Employer’s $51,000 After 3 Days Of Employment by Thissystem: 8:04am On Feb 17
Police authorities at the Zone 2 Command Headquarters in Onikan, Lagos, have arrested one Blessing Effiong, a domestic staff, and her husband, Bassey Effiong, for stealing $51,000 from their employer’s residence in the Lekki area of Lagos.

According to reports from the command, Blessing, who was recommended for employment by an agent named Anthony, began her employment as a domestic staff on December 23, 2023. Shockingly, within just three days of commencing work, she absconded with $51,000 along with her husband, fleeing to Cross River State.


In a press release issued by the zonal police public relations officer, SP Ayuba Umma, it was disclosed that after thorough investigation, both suspects were apprehended on January 31st, 2024.

Initially denying the extent of the theft, Blessing eventually confessed to stealing $30,000 and admitted to giving $20,000 of the stolen money to her husband, Bassey Effiong.

In his confession, Bassey Effiong disclosed that he received the stolen funds, a portion of which he used to settle his late mother’s medical bills, purchase a Tipper Truck, Two Motorcycles, and complete a construction project in Cross River State.

Why would someone have such an amount in his or her house in the first place

I wish they didn't catch the househelp and her husband. He seemed to invest part of the money well

This is one of the reasons many men are so reluctant to have their wives bring in a househelp to the home.
You never can tell if you are bringing in an agent of darkness,a criminal,or a sexual predator.

The owner of the money should be arrested and prosecuted for hoarding foreign currency .

His source(s) of income should be thoroughly investigated too.

The Nigerian government should prosecute anyone keeping large amounts of naira in the house talk more of foreign scare currency.

Proper implementation of cashless policy is needed ASAP!

Our people should stop employing these obidients as housemaids.

They are just too covetous.

They've all started attacking the employer and rationalizing the criminal act in their usual fashion.

If you must hire them, let them work only when you are at home. Don't take them as Live-in maids.

I employ them a lot but can never let them stay close to my money.

Godfullsam:


Shut up bigot.

What makes me a bigot? Are Obidients an ethnic group?

Tomorrow, the nonentity will tell you there is no work

The difference between the wailer and Alison Madueke is just an opportunity.

If the wailer gets the opportunity to be in the position of authority today, he will not hesitate to sell Nigeria on eBay

And the one that kept $51,000 at home, what exactly is he doing with such amount of $

Get paid in dollars any means you can.
Since your own currency is now leading the chart of most useless currency in the world.

As the Nigerian Government would have reacted, I condemn the act of the woman and her husband...and let it end there.

The man even has a good business brain… he just didn't have enough money to put it to effect.

Well, let him repay it from the proceeds of his businesses.
