A cleaner hired temporarily at Padel House, a sports center in the Ikoyi area of Lagos, has landed in trouble after stealing a Samsung phone reportedly worth ₦700,000.
He attempted to divert blame by framing an innocent security guard.
According to reports, the theft occurred shortly after the cleaner resumed duties at the facility.
Instead of carrying out his assigned tasks, he stole the expensive device and discreetly handed it over to an accomplice outside the premises in an attempt to avoid detection.
Initially, suspicion fell on a security officer who was present during the shift, as all signs appeared to point in his direction.
However, a prompt internal investigation was launched, and it didn’t take long before the truth surfaced.
Upon being confronted, the cleaner admitted to the crime. His confession led to the eventual recovery of the stolen phone, restoring the guard’s reputation.
The incident has since gone viral online, sparking public outrage.
