Posted on by Omojewho HopeCrime SocietyLeave a Comment on Driver in trouble as Nina flees with N5million car

Car theft is not uncommon in Nigeria. It is one of the most frequent crimes that occur in Nigeria and more often that not, most of the stolen vehicles are never found again.

A 54 year-old driver of the chairman of an outsourcing firm in Ikoyi, Lagos State, has landed in trouble after a sex worker allegedly fled with his boss’ Kia Sorento sports utility vehicle valued at N5.4m. The ‘sex worker’, identified only as Nina, reportedly fled with the vehicle at a filling station in Ikoyi immediately the driver, Victor Dossa, came down to fuel it.

It was learnt that Dossa, who lives on Ikoyi Crescent, usually took the vehicle to his house after taking his boss home at the close of work. It was gathered that Dossa drove the vehicle to Obalende around 11pm to convey Nina to his house, perhaps to have fun together overnight.

They were reportedly returning home; Nina drove the vehicle and suggested that they stopped at a nearby filling station to buy fuel. When Dossa came down from the vehicle to monitor how the fuel being bought was being dispensed, Nina took off in the car. The case was said to have been reported to the police at the Onikan Police Division and the driver was arrested.

Dossa, happens to be from Benin Republic, reportedly told the police that he first met Nina in the Obalende area a week before the incident. “I was brought to Nigeria in 2004 by the company chairman. I work with him as a driver in charge of the Kia Sorento SUV with the number plate, BDG 644 BJ. Whenever I closed from work, I parked the vehicle in my house. The following day, I would go and pick my boss from his house to the office.

“My boss did not come to the office on August 17, 2018, so the vehicle was in my house throughout. Around 11pm, I drove it to Obalende to pick a sex worker whom I met a week earlier. I only know her as Nina. On our way back to my house, she drove the vehicle while I was at the front passenger seat. She stopped at a filling station along Awolowo Road to buy fuel. She gave money to pay for the fuel. The moment I came down from the vehicle, she zoomed off. I don’t know how to locate her. I don’t know any of her friends either.” Dossa was subsequently brought before Court by a police prosecutor, Sergeant Francisca Job, on two counts of conspiracy and stealing.

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP is prosecuting four persons for alleged offenses of rape, child theft, child labour and abuse.

She insisted she had been pregnant for her husband in Sweden but that medical examinations could not detect the pregnancy over there and was advised to return to her state where the pregnancy could be detected and she would be assisted to deliver safely.Though the DNA test conducted on her and the baby boy showed that there was no biological relationship between them, Mrs. Bassey maintained her claim that she delivered the baby through the help of a midwife in Uyo.

The second case had to do with child labour and abuse allegedly effected by a 37 year-old woman named Mrs. Ifeoma Obinwa, a residence of Dutse Alhaji, in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
She was accused to have inflicted grievous bodily harm on her 14-year-old house help on the 12th of September by beating her and placing a hot knife on her buttock. Mrs. Obinwa told journalists that she acted in anger.

She was accused of getting a 12 year-old girl as a house help from Nasarawa State last year, who she usually mistreated and forced to do the whole house chores, take care of her children and was beaten regularly by her madam.

Some members of the church of a Canada-based Nigerian pastor, Glory Idahosa of the God of Power House of Prayer Ministries, have called for boycott after it emerged that he abandoned the mother of his 5 children, Christabel, to marry another lady, Splendour Patrick, in Nigeria.

According to reports, for the most part of their marriage, Pastor Glory was jobless and his wife took care of the home and finance, up until 3 years ago when he opened a church in Canada with the help of his wife.

He allegedly introduced Splendour as his younger sister and Christabel believed him. In 2016, Pastor Glory told his wife he needed money to open a branch of their church in Nigeria and was given N2.8 million.

He later left for Nigeria, where he stayed for months, with the excuse that he was busy working to help the church pick up. He returned to his family in Canada months later.

However, in June, 2018, he told his wife that his mother died and he needed to return to Nigeria urgently. He also claimed he needed to attend some family meetings and look into the progress of the church in Nigeria. .

His wife remained in Canada with their children, not suspecting anything, until earlier this week, when she started seeing pictures of her husband’s wedding to Splendor in Benin, Edo State. It was also revealed that the new wife is a mother of two.
