Cook nabbed for sedating, robbing Lagos homeowners
The police command in Lagos has arrested a cook, Wilfred Amoussou, for allegedly sedating his employers and robbing them of their valuables.
The command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on Thursday on his verified Twitter handle.
He said the suspect specialised in drugging and escaping with his bosses’ property.
“Amoussou would take up a job as a cook or chef and heavily sedate his employers with benzodiazepines and steal their valuables. He has done this to different victims over the years in Ikoyi, Banana Island and Parkview,” said the police officer.
He added, “Some of his past victims have come forward to identify him.”
The police officer urged employers who were victims of the suspect to visit the Ikoyi Police Division.
