A
27-year-old company employee, Collins Udeze, was on Tuesday brought before an
Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for allegedly stealing his girlfriend’s ATM
card and withdrawing N170,000 from the account.
Udeze,
a resident of Ilasamaja, Mushin, Lagos, is being tried for stealing, assault
and threat to life.
According
to the prosecutor, Insp. G. B Ekundayo, the accused committed the offences on
April 7 at Layi Oyekanmi Street, Mushin.
He
said the accused stole N170,000 belonging to Miss Busayo Ogunleke, his
girlfriend.
“The
accused came to his girlfriend’s house and stole her ATM card and used it to
withdraw N170, 000.”
Ekundayo
told the court that when the complainant discovered that it was the accused who
withdrew her money, she confronted him and demanded her money but the accused
beat her up.
“The
accused assaulted the complainant by hitting her with an iron rod…for
confronting him and asking him to return her money.”
