A Beninoise Chef, Mathew Kudjo (25) has been arrested by the Special
Anti-robbery Squad of the Oyo State Police Command for stealing $59,000
and N3.4 million belonging to his boss who resides in Ibadan, the Oyo
State capital.
State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Abiodun Odude who disclosed this on
Thursday while parading Kudjo along with other suspects, said the
suspect was arrested in his hideout in Ibadan after breaking into his
boss apartment in Ikolaba area of Ibadan to steal the said money.
“The suspect on December 12, 2016 betrayed the trust of his master.
“After successfully carrying out the criminal act, the suspect
perfected sinister plan to abscond abroad with the loot but through
intensive investigation coupled with high level intelligence carried out
by the Special squad, the suspect was nabbed before he could escape to
the United State of America, having procured an international passport, a
US visa and other travel documents with which to travel out of the
country.
“Upon interrogating the suspect who was remorseful, confessed to the
crime. He disclosed that he had built an edifice in his home country,
Benin Republic, with part of the ill-gotten money. Part of the stolen
money and other exhibits were however recovered from him”.
