Salesboy Makes Away With Master’s N.9m

A 25-year-old salesboy employed by Austino Nigeria Enterprise located at 16, Akerele Street, Papa-Uku, Agege, a suburb of Lagos, southwest Nigeria, has made away with N896,000 belonging to the company.

The suspect, a native of Umuagbara Izzangbo village in Ohauku Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, was employed to sell foodstuffs.

He was said to have taken the money on the pretence of going to buy food items as the shop was running out of stock.

The matter was reported at Isokoko Police Station and the police have subsequently launched a manhunt for him.

A police source, however, advised any member of the public who sees him or have any useful information on the whereabouts of suspect to contact the nearest police station or call any of the following phone numbers 08033692585 and 08138554991.

When P.M.NEWS visited Austino Nigeria Enterprise, the director, Mr. Austin Odeh, lamented that the suspect had ruined his business, saying he wanted to assist the boy not knowing that he had evil plans.
