New Hotel Worker Vanishes With 200k After First Day At Work; Manager Threatens To Invoke Mádness
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.

Ephraim further noted that Mary Cynthia left without preparing or rendering account of her service for the period she had worked, as her colleagues anticipated her return as she assured, which never happened since then. Continuing, he said since then, Cynthia has stopped picking his calls and even went to the extent of blocking his number and that of the person who suretied her for the employment.

Even whenever it rings, immediately she notices that the call is about the crime she committed, she will immediately end the call and block the number,” he said. When asked the content of the handbag the suspect left before leaving, the Hotel Manager said “When we eventually searched the bag, the only thing we found there was an earring.” Continuing, the Hotel Manager, who will be rendering account by the end of the month, said he had made several efforts and explored diplomatic approaches to connect with Cynthia since then and retrieve the stolen money from her before the, which all proved abortive.

“This is because, as from Monday, January 27, if anything strange begins to happen to her, people should know where her misfortune is coming from,” the Hotel Manager warned.
Justice Maryam Aliyu Hassan of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting at Gwarimpa in Abuja has ordered that former Minister of Labour, Dr Chris Ngige, be kept at Kuje prison till December 18.
Ngige will be on remand till the date when his bail application would be decided by the court.
Justice Hassan issued the order on Monday shortly after taking arguments for and against the bail request of the former governor of Anambra State.
Ngige’s lawyer, Patrick Ikwueto, SAN, pleaded with the judge to admit the former minister to bail, mainly on health ground.
He submitted that the former minister would not jump bail or interfere with witnesses if admitted to bail.
However, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, represented by Sylvanus Tahir, SAN, vehemently opposed the bail request, insisting that Ngige was a flight risk.
Tahir told the judge that Ngige was granted administrative bail by the EFCC and allowed to travel abroad for medical care but never reported back to the Commission.
Besides, he said that the international passport released to Ngige; to facilitate the abroad trip was never returned till today.
The senior lawyer argued that it was when Ngige was re-arrested that he came up with a purported claim that he lost his passport.
He insisted that the claim of passport loss was an afterthought and should not be believed by the court.
After the submissions, Justice Hassan fixed December 18 to deliver ruling in the bail request.
Ngige was last Friday slammed with an eight-count charge bordering on corrupt practices.
