Victor Abayomi, a chef who served the former governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has been remanded in prison custody for allegedly stealing valuables worth millions of naira from the former governor's residence in Ikoyi.
Abayomi was brought before the Yaba Magistrate court by the State Security Service (SSS) on two counts of conspiracy and theft. The SSS prosecuting counsel, Joshua Babalola, informed the court that Abayomi and others, who are still at large, conspired to commit the offences at the former governor's residence in Ikoyi.
Babalola stated that the defendant fled to Old Garage, Molorundo Local Government Area, Osun State, where he was apprehended on March 7, 2024.
The prosecutor noted that the alleged offences contravene Sections 287 and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The Magistrate, in her ruling, ordered that Abayomi be remanded for 30 days at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre and adjourned the case until April 8, 2024, for further investigation and presentation of facts.
