Beninoise man arrainged in court for stealing Chris Ayanwu's N10m, Jewellery

A 33 year old Beninoise man identified as Brouno Amoussou was today Sept. 11th arraigned before the Igbosere Magistrate Court for allegedly conspiring to steal N10million cash, land documents and expensive jewelries from the home of Senator Chris Anyanwu, a serving senator representing Imo state at the National Assembly.

According to the prosecutor of the case, Cpl Innocent Odugbo, the suspect, a resident of 221, Temple Heights, Flat 6, Banana Island, Lagos, had in July this year conspired with one Alex Sossou, a cook who is currently at large, to steal from the senator's house. Continue...

The prosecutor said Amoussou had sometime back introduced Sossou as a cook to Senator Anyanwu and even stood as a guarantor for Sossou to be employed as a cook by the Senator at her Imo state house.

Upon his arrival at her home, Sossou is alleged to have broken into a safe in her bedroom and stole the cash, jewelry as well as her land documents.

He thereafter absconded to his village in the Republic of Benin. Efforts to get him arrested have so far yielded no result.

The accused, Amoussou pleaded not guilty to the charge of theft and conspiracy.

The Magistrate, Mrs O.O. Olanipekun granted him bail in the sum of N10million with two sureties in the same sum and adjourned the case to October 13th for hearing.
