PUNCH Metro learnt that the 26-year-old suspect had spent three days in police custody, denying that she stole the chain, until she could not endure police interrogation any longer.click here for full story
The owner of the chain, who identified himself simply as Cosmas, said he had gone to patronise the suspect at an hotel in Ikeja, when she drugged him.
He alleged that after he fell asleep, the suspect stole his chain.
He said, “I am a 26-year-old footballer from Esan, Edo State. I am not married, but have two children. Around 9pm last week Sunday, I went to the hotel to have fun with a prostitute, but while I was on her bed, she gave me some tablets and told me to take it as this would make me last longer. I agreed and gave her N3,000
“However, I fell asleep immediately only to wake up around 1am. The girl was not in, but a few minutes later, she came in. I noticed that the gold chain was missing. I asked her where it was, but she denied taking it.
“I explained to her that the chain belonged to my elder brother, Martins, but she continued to deny taking it, so I started shouting and this attracted the manager, who called policemen from Ikeja Police Station. After two days at Ikeja Police Station, she continued to deny it and the matter was transferred to SARS.”
Emoven, who spoke to our correspondent, however, described the matter as a domestic, rather than a criminal matter.
