One newly-employed worker in a popular hotel in Awka, the capital city of Anambra state has allegedly fled with a whopping sum of money, amounting to about two hundred thousand naira (N200,000) of her employer after her first day at work.

The Manager of the hotel, who simply identified himself as Ephraim, disclosed this over the week in a social media post which was made available to this reporter. According to him, the lady, who hails from Ebenebe in Awka North Local Government Area of the state, introduced herself as Chinaza, but was identified as Mary Cynthia by Truecaller.

Ephraim recounted that Mary Cynthia began working with the hotel as a waitress on Monday, January 20, while in the early hours of the next day, Tuesday, January 21, she made away with about N200,000 received from customers.
