OPERATIVES of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on Friday arrested a chef and a security guard for allegedly stealing their boss’s property worth Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N5.500,000.00).
The suspects, Olusola Folorunso, 24, a chef and Rafiu Mutairu, 47, a security guard, were arrested in the Badagry and Ishasi areas of Lagos, respectively.
The suspects, both working for the same employer at a popular estate in Ojodu, Ikeja, had, sometime in September 2024, carted away and sold off the property while their boss was on a foreign trip.
Items stolen included 5 split air conditioners, a chest freezer, a pumping machine, a fridge and freezer, one inverter and jewellery. All the items have been valued at Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N5.500,000.00).
Investigations revealed that while Folorunsho moved away the household items and personal effects from their boss’s residence, the security guard assisted in providing the buyers for the items.
Investigations further revealed Folorunsho ran away to Badagry after committing the crime and all efforts to get him to assist in the recovery of those items proved futile.
Commander Rapid Response Squad (RRS) CSP Shola Jejeloye has directed that the suspects be charged in court.
