A businessman, simply identified as Olugbenga, has been fleeced of over N1 million after his lover, Thelma Kimberly, fled with his Automated Teller Machine card when he fell asleep after several sessions of lovemaking, The PUNCH is reporting.
According to the newspaper, the incident happened on May 17, 2018 but the 22-year-old lady was only recently apprehended.
This was even after the sum of N100,000 sent to her account as a bait was allegedly released to her despite the restriction placed on it.
Kimberly, who is based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, visited Olugbenga at his residence on Victoria Island, Lagos State on May 17, 2018.
Olugbenga and Kimberly were said to have spent some time together outside before retiring home to lovemaking.
The 45-year-old man reportedly slept off after some rounds of sex and Kimberly fled with his ATM card and a mobile phone.
She was said to have made withdrawals, transfers and purchases at a supermarket in Lekki using PoS.
Olugbenga reported the case at the Ikoyi Police Division.
Kimberly was eventually tracked down this month.
The suspect said in her statement to the police: “I met Olugbenga in 2016 in Port Harcourt when he visited my foster father, who is his friend. On May 17, around 8:00pm, I visited him in his residence on Victoria Island. He took me out and we bought some things. We had sex several times when we came back. He was tired and slept off.
“I left with his phone and ATM card and I made withdrawals of N150,000 at ATM stands in Obalende, Ikeja and VI. I went to a supermarket at Lekki Phase I and spent N363,000. I paid through PoS.
“I also did transfers of N250, 000 to some accounts. I gave some people from the money. I was just spending it and can’t calculate how much I spent altogether.”
The spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command, CSP Chike Oti, confirmed the development.
Oti said Kimberly had been arraigned before a Tinubu Magistrate Court.
