According
to police sources, the woman, identified as Tessy Emovon, 26, allegedly stole
the chain from 26-year-old Cosmas Odijie, on November 24, 2013, Sunday, in a
hotel located at Ipodo Market,
off Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja, after giving him
a sleeping drug.
Odijie
paid N3,000 to Tessy, to spend the night with her. The sex worker allegedly
used a drug called Rohypnol, when the guy complained of being tired.
The
prostitute assured him that the drug would boost his energy and sex drive.
The
main effect of Rohypnol is to make a person sedated, euphoric, uninhibited. The
person may slur his speech and look sleepy. Rohypnol is a banned drug in the
USA. It is in the same class with Ecstasy, ketamine, LSD and ephedrine. Some
undesirable effects which may appear include weakness, headache, difficulty
breathing, nausea, unconsciousness, confusion, difficulty seeing clearly.
The
victim told the police in his statement that after taking the drug, he slept
off and woke up around 3.30 a.m. on November 25, 2013, Monday, to discover that
his gold chain was missing.
“After
regaining consciousness, I discovered that my gold chain was missing, and when
I challenged Tessy, she denied stealing the chain. This led to argument and I
had to inform the manager of the hotel,” he told the police.
The
manager reported the incident to the police at Area ‘F’ police division, Ikeja,
and Tessy was arrested and detained for two days.
She
was arrested again by SARS officers as she was released from detention on the
third day following a report by Martins Odijie, 33, elder brother to Cosmas,
who told detectives that he actually owned the stolen gold chain.
The
SARS officers took her to their office at the headquarters of the Lagos Police
Command for further interrogation.
During
interrogation, she confessed to the crime, adding that she wrapped the chain in
a tissue paper which she inserted in her private part.
She
told the police that the chain was still in her private part. Following her
revelation, some female police officers from SARS accompanied her to the hotel
where she removed the chain from her private part.
A police source confirmed that she
would be charged to court soon for stealing.
