Interior designer, Ehi Ogbebor, has come under heavy criticism from netizens after she exposed one of her maids who stole $11,500 from her safe.
The socialited had taken to her Instagram page to lament that her maid hacked her safe and made stole the hard currency which is equivalent to about N8 million.
She said she had given her son the money to help her keep in the safe some days ago. On Friday night, she asked her son to bring the money from the safe. It was then that it was discovered that the money had been stolen. A search led them to Iniobong who was discovered to have been chatting with Bureau de Change operators on how to exchange the dollars.
Ogbebor wrote on IG: ‘Yall be careful this season…this girl hacked my safe n stole 11k dollars….thats 8m at once….. God was on my side n confused her…she had this money for days but stayed in my house …something in me (intuition) made me check were my safe last night…. she was to go off today Saturday n obviously be gone forever!!! These maids are professional criminals that work in synergy…..she has been handed over to the police after a lot of slaps of course.
See mallam calling her customer…. This girl has loads of mallams for FX exchange on her phone. She buys expensive laces. Everyone addresses her as ma/ madam. She has only worked with me for less than two months. This is a big criminal madam that disguised as a maid. Probably has robbed a lot of other homes. Safes are no longer safe. This one hacked my safe n closed it back n went back doing chores like nothing happened. Pls let’s be guided. Professional Criminals are on the prowls in disguise”
While many congratulated her for recovering the bulk of the money, others are condemning her for storing that huge amount of money at home and for publicizing it on social media.
Alakijayinka: “Are you being careful yourselves by further revealing you keep dollars at home? On social media? Why the post?”
Lovelynfoodds: “Honestly, she’s not wise at all. I don’t even trust those policemen. Telling everyone you have a safe full of dollars at home.”
awesome_veraities: “Our bloody police were there as well she should leave that house oooh”
luxe_decor4homes: “So sad…thank God she was caught… but with this video, u might be inviting more thieves to your home… I bet those men standing there if they had d chance they might steal too.
nwankpa_kaycee: “In as much as I sympathize with you madam and thank God that the culprit was caught,but sharing it here on public domain knowing how unsafe this country is isn’t such a good idea because you can’t trust anybody out here or even those that came to your residence to investigate the matter….we are in perilous times,may God continue to keep us and our families safe”
toksaji: “You shouldn’t be sharing such information online…… you might be inviting unwanted visitors”
