Operatives of the Nigeria Police Special Fraud Unit, NPSFU, Ikoyi, Lagos, have arrested a driver, Adegboye Moshood, for allegedly stealing N10 million in cash alongside valuables belonging to his employer, Abbey Anibaba, before fleeing.
Police reports indicate that the incident occurred in May 2025, shortly after Anibaba travelled abroad, leaving his driver behind to oversee the residence.
On his return, Anibaba reportedly discovered that both Moshood and several personal items were missing. Efforts to contact the driver proved futile, prompting him to file a complaint with the police.
Acting on intelligence, detectives tracked Moshood to a hideout in Lagos, where he was apprehended and subsequently arraigned before the Igbosere Magistrate\u2019s Court, sitting at the Tinubu Magistrate\u2019s Court.
During proceedings, the Police Prosecutor, Reuben Solomon, alleged that Moshood betrayed the confidence reposed in him by his employer, carting away N10 million in cash, wristwatches, gold chains, and other valuables before absconding.
He added that the offence contravened Section 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty. His counsel, Anayo Agbo, appealed to the court for bail on liberal terms, arguing that his client is married with children and had no intention of fleeing if released.
Magistrate K.K. Awoyinka granted bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum but ordered Moshood\u2019s remand at the Ikoyi Correctional Facility until the bail conditions are perfected. The case was adjourned for further hearing.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
