Today, an Apapa Chief Magistrates’ Court granted bail of N50, 000 to a
sex worker identified as Favour Eze, accused of stealing her
colleague’s N80, 000.  

The accused, 28, resides at Apapa area of Lagos. The Chief
Magistrate, Michael Olubi, granted her the bail with two sureties in
like sum. Olubi adjourned the case until January 30 for hearing.  

Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp. Ferdinand Asu, told the court that the
accused committed the offence on Jan.6 at Roland Hotel, Apapa, Lagos.
The prosecutor said that the complainant, Ogechi Eze, accused Eze of
entering her hotel room to steal the said amount kept in a drawer.  

“The complainant said that the accused and two others were sitting
with her at the hotel bar when she suddenly discovered that the key to
her room was missing. Unknown to the complainant, Eze had secretly gone
behind her back to steal the money she kept in the room.

On getting there, the complainant discovered that the money she kept
in the drawer was missing. The complainant said unfortunately for the
accused, she left her phone on the bed after stealing the money,” Asu
said.  

The prosecutor told the court that the complainant then reported the
matter to the police and the accused was arrested. He said the offence
contravened Section 287 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015, which
prescribes a three-year jail term for any offender if found guilty.  

Eze, however, denied committing the offence when the charge was read to her.
