A Sabo-Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos, on Monday, ordered the remand of Victor Abayomi, the former chef of ex-Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, for allegedly stealing valuables worth millions at the governor’s Ikoyi residence.
Chief Magistrate Peter Nwaka presiding over the case, directed the remand of Abayomi for 30 days in Ikoyi Correctional Centre. The case was adjourned until April 8, for further investigation and presentation of facts.
Abayomi, facing charges of conspiracy and theft, allegedly committed the offences along with others still at large at the former governor’s residence. Joshua Babalola, a legal officer with the State Security Service (SSS), detailed to the court that Abayomi absconded to Old Garage, Molorundo Local Government Area, Osun State, where he was arrested by Ambode’s SSS on March 7.
Babalola further alleged that the defendant absconded with valuable items worth millions of naira from the Ikoyi residence of the former governor. The offences, according to Babalola, contravene sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
