The woman, identified as Tessy Emovon, 26, allegedly stole the chain from her boyfriend, Cosmas Odijie, 26, last Sunday in a hotel located in Ikeja, after giving him a sleeping drug.
Odijie had earlier on given Tessy N3,000, to spend the night with her.
According to the police, when Odijie complained of being tired, Tessy gave him a drug called Rohypnol.
She assured him that the drug will boost his energy and sex drive, but instead, Odijie encountered one of the less desirable effects of the drug: weakness, headache, difficulty breathing, nausea, unconsciousness, confusion, difficulty seeing clearly.
Odijie told the police in his statement that after taking the drug, he slept off and woke up around 3.30a.m. on Monday to discover that his gold chain was missing.
“After regaining consciousness, I discovered that my gold chain was missing and when I challenged Tessy, she denied stealing the chain. This led to argument and I had to inform the manager of the hotel,” he told the police.
The manager reported the incident to the police at Area ‘F’ police division, Ikeja, and Tessy was arrested and detained for two days.
She was arrested again by SARS officers as she was released from detention on the third day following a report by Martins Odijie, 33, elder brother to Cosmas, who told detectives that he actually owned the stolen gold chain.
The SARS officers took her to their office at the headquarters of the Lagos Police Command for further interrogation.
During interrogation, she confessed to the crime, adding that she had wrapped the chain in a tissue paper which she inserted in her private part.
And that the chain was still in her private part.
Some female police officers from SARS had to take her to the hotel where she removed the chain from her private part.
A police source confirmed to PMNews that she would be charged to court soon for stealing.
