A housekeeper, Bose Vitawan, who allegedly bolted away with her employer’s jewellery valued at N13 million, was on Tuesday brought before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
The accused, 24, is being tried for a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing, to which she pleaded innocence.
The Prosecutor, Inspector Daniel Ighodalo, said the accused with others at large committed the offences on September 2 at 307, Banana Island, Lagos.
Ighodalo alleged that the accused bolted with the following items — 18 pieces of gold watches, 15 pieces of gold rings, 10 sets of gold necklace and earrings and 10 costume beads, all valued at N3 million belonging to her employer.
The offences, he noted, contravened Sections 285 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.
The Chief Magistrate, Abimbola Awogboro, admitted Vitawan to a bail of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum.
Section 285 prescribes a three-year jail term, while Section 409 provides two years for offenders.
Further hearing has been fixed for November 9.
