company in Ajah, Lagos led him to carry out a robbery
attack on his place of work to snatch workers salary.
According to Daily Independent, Chiemezie and Austin
had stormed the company on February 28th with hopes of
robbing the office of some money meant to pay salaries.
Austin, a worker in the company had notified Chiemezie of
the accountant's return from the bank with the money...
Austin is said to have led Chiemezie into the office of the
accountant. Chiemezie pointed the gun at the accountant
and asked him to surrender the money but the accountant
summoned courage and shouted for help. This attracted
other staff and out of fear, Chiemzie dropped the gun that
had only one cartridge. He attempted to run, but he was
apprehended by the workers and handed over to the police.
During interrogation, Chiemezie a native of Azawa
Obiato, Iseke in Mba Itolu, Imo State said;
"I live in Shapati area of Ajah, Lagos. I worked
as a waiter at Royal Bliss Hotel and earn N18,
000 per month. I was arrested for armed robbery.
My friend, Chukwuemeka Austin, who wanted to
resign from where he was working and go back to
his village in Enugu State, invited me to rob the
company of the workers’ monthly salary. I
borrowed the gun from a hunter in Contonou. My
friend told me that the money was between N2 and
N3 million. I agreed because he said we will
share the money 50-50. The knives were
recovered from his house. We had only one
cartridge inside the gun. This is my first time of
going for robbery” he said
