• Plans to Hypnotize victim from suspecting theft
The
operatives of the Lagos State Rapid Response Squad a unit of the Lagos
State Police Command, have arrested a house maid agent who specializes
in assisting people to get maids with the motive of using them to them
to abscond with money, jewelry and other belongings of their employers.
Francis
Okputu, 37 years old a former drycleaner who turned house help agent
had been using his influence to bring job seekers to Lagos and that of
his wife who also help him bring people from her home town to work in
Lagos as housemaids.
Francis whose mode of
operation and agreement with the job seekers is to help them get maid
jobs, where they will work as house help and domestic workers. He
collects half of their salary for the first month as commission fee and
he had been doing this since 2003 predominantly on the Lagos Mainland.
In
his confessional statement with the police, Francis owned up to helping
people get housemaids as an agent and he installs not less than 15
domestic workers every year and gets half of their salaries as his
commission but began to change his tactics after his financial burdens
rose.
‘I Have been helping Lagosians get house
helps and everybody in my neighborhood knows thats what I do and they
also make recommendations and link me with their relatives who need my
service.’
Francis added that, sometime in May
this year a friend directed one Joy Onoz to me to help her get a
housemaid job which I did and all was fine until the next month when she
began to call me that her Mistress does not like her and she will like
him to help do something about it.
Francis
getting to know that Joy’s Madam is wealthy, began to find means of
looting the unsuspecting employer. He called Joy one day and warned her
not speak English throughout their conversation and told her to steal
her madam’s money, jewelries and also help him get her picture and
deliver it to him in an undisclosed place.
The
gold jewellery he told Joy would be replaced with copper and he will
take the picture to a prophetess who will help him bewitch and make her
not to question any of the girl’s deed after stealing her things.
Joy
while talking to policemen about her agent’s move to loot her employer
quickly told her Madam of Francis’ plans and they played along with his
arrangement. The Mistress gave Joy some hard currencies and Jewelries
and her picture and told her to contact Francis that she has
successfully gotten some valuables.
Francis
unknowingly instructed Joy to meet him at Iyana-Ipaja to handover her
loots to him and that he would arrange how to get the fakes across to
her by doing imitations of the jewelries to avoid any suspicion.
Officers who had been contacted by the employer swung into action and
laid siege for Francis at the agreed location where he was arrested
after receiving the loots.
After his arrest,
the Decoy team of RRS visited some housemaid whom Francis has installed
in different part of the State to question them if he Francis had one
time or the other asked them to bring their employer’s valuables and
also advised them to stay clear of any plan that is contrary to the law.
The
police also visited the said prophetess who was to help Francis
hypnotize Joy’s mistress and she disclosed that the last time she saw
him was in February 2018 when he came for prayer and ask her to help
hypnotize a woman who employed one of his clients but she refused his
demand and sent him out of her church because she doesn’t indulge in
such practice as a servant of God.
Recovered
from Francis’ hand when joy was trailed to Iyana Ipaja, the point of
exchange of the stolen items were $15 dollar notes, sets of gold
jewelries worth N450,000 and a picture.
The
Commissioner of Police, CP Adamu Muazu in his reaction to the incident
directed the transfer of the case to State CID office and advise
Lagosians to be conscious of whom they employ as domestic staff to avoid
theft of their hard-earned properties.
