Lagos Police Nab 29-Year-Old Female Thief Two Months After Prison Release
In a shocking display of recidivism, Margaret Sunday Udoh, a 29-year-old female ex-convict, has been arrested for stealing $20,000 from her employer in Lagos, just two months after completing a one-year jail term for a similar offense.
Udoh, who hails from Akwa Ibom State, was arrested on July 28, 2024, after her employer reported the theft to the police. The suspect had been working as a house help since March 2024, after being released from the Kirikiri correctional facility on January 20, 2024.
According to the police, Udoh stole $12,300 from her employer’s wardrobe and gave $300 to the security guard, Emmanuel Ozogie, who aided her in the crime. The suspect then moved to Ebonyi State, where she was arrested by the police.
The Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest and revealed that Udoh had dumped her phone with SIM in a spot in Lagos to avoid being tracked.The police recovered $3,000 from her, while she had given part of the money to her father to build a house.
In an interview with The Guardian, Udoh claimed that greed led her to commit the crime. She revealed that she had worked as a house help since 2015 and had stolen from only two employers. Udoh also claimed that she had been sending all her earnings to her parents to support them.
Ozogie, the security guard, denied involvement in the crime, stating that he was a preacher and had been struggling to make ends meet. He claimed that Udoh had convinced him to aid her in the crime, promising to settle down with him.
The suspects are to be charged to court soon, according to the police. This incident raises concerns about the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in rehabilitating offenders and preventing repeat offenses.
