26-Year-Old Domestic Servant Vanishes Into Thin Air With Boss' $11,000 In Lagos


A 26-year-old domestic servant by the name, Daniel Ikade has vanished into thin air after he reportedly burgled his boss’s apartment in the Anthony Village area of Lagos State and stole $11,000 (about N4m).

The house help aka Danzy, was alleged to have broken into the room where the money was kept when his boss, Ebun Akin, a businessman, was not around. He then fled with the cash.

The suspect allegedly committed the crime on Friday, February 22, 2018, six months after he was employed through an agent, identified only as Samuel.

It was gathered that Akin had earlier planned to deposit the money in the bank for the payment of his workers’ salaries.

The victim told reporters that when he discovered the burglary on getting home that day, he went to Ikade’s apartment and observed that he had fled.

Akin said he went to the Anthony Police Station to report the case, but he was asked to alert the police whenever the suspect was sighted.

He said, “I left Daniel (Ikade) at home that day while I was leaving home. I forgot to lock my apartment, but the wardrobe was locked. I was shocked when I returned home in the evening and met my wardrobe broken. I kept $11,000 there. I discovered that the money had been stolen.

“I went to his room and noticed that his telephone was on the bed but he had removed the SIM card. He left all his belongings behind as well as a diary containing phone numbers of his close friends and family. The money was meant for the payment of staff’s salaries.

“I was supposed to convert it into naira and then deposit it at the bank. I couldn’t make it to the bank that Friday and decided to keep the money at home till Monday. I went to the Anthony Police Station to report. The policemen asked me to inform them as soon as I locate him.”

Akin explained that he subsequently reported the case to the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team in Lagos, adding that the team had yet to track down the suspect.

He said Ikade was last seen in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State but was said to have fled to his town in Ogojo, Cross River State.

He noted that the telephone lines of the suspect’s brother, Bertland, and one Emmanuel Ochim, who stood as guarantors for him, were unreachable.

He said “Attempts to locate Daniel (Ikade) have been abortive. His guarantor, Bertrand, who happens to be his elder brother, has also switched off his phone. I visited his (Bertland’s) house in Alago Erunwen, Ikorodu. I learnt that he had fled the neighbourhood since the incident occurred.

“The second guarantor, Emmanuel (Ochim) who lives at Mosco Blocks Industry, Erunwen, Balogun Ikorodu, is also incommunicado. I got him through an agent called Samuel. The police have invited him several times, but he has refused to show up.”

Confirming the incident, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Jimoh Moshood, told reporters that investigation had commenced into the matter.

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions.  In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century.  Ali was not just a beauty to watch in the boxing ring, the greatest pugilist positively influenced decisions in many countries globally.  2. Pele is widely picked as the winner, and number one football player in history in all criteria. His three-time World Cup-winning feat, from four World Cup appearances, is unlikely to be matched. Pele scored a Guinness World Record of...

#RamadanDailyDigest: Significance Of Moonsighting & Commencement Of Ramadan

Ramadan Daily Digest, which is an annual article on the stable of Naijaloveinfo with hashtag, #RamadanDailyDigest will be discussing briefly the significance of moonsighting and the commencement of Ramadan. Ramadan, which is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar is the only month in which Muslims, the world over fast from dawn till sunset for 29 or 30 days. Allaah commands Muslims to fast as stated in some parts of Suuratul Baqara (chapter 2) of The Glorious Qur'an. The Glorious Qur'an is the first and most important book to all Muslims. For all the Islamic months, starting from Muharram (first month) to Dhul Hajj (12th month), the numbers of days in each of these 12 months are often 29 days and once in a while 30 days. The interesting thing about counting days is that the crescent (new moon) plays an important role. Therefore, the significance of moonsighting is the first consideration before starting the Ramadan fasting.  The question that could come up is why do Muslims co...
