Lady flees with businessman’s ATM card after sex, withdraws N1m

A woman identified as Thelma Kimberly, a resident in Porthacourt, Rivers state, has been arrested by the Lagos State Police command after she allegedly fled with a businessman’s Automated Teller Machine card after rounds of sex.

Kimberly allegedly withdrew N1m from the bank account. She allegedly committed the crime on May 17, 2018.

She was said to have visited the man, Olugbenga at his residence in Victoria Island where she allegedly committed the crime.

The 45-year-old man reportedly slept off after some rounds of sex and Kimberly, 22, fled with his ATM card and a mobile phone.

She allegedly made withdrawals, transfers and purchases at a supermarket in Lekki, using PoS.

Olugbenga reported the case at the Ikoyi Police Division and Kimberly was eventually tracked down this month.

The suspect, in her statement to the police, confessed to the crime, but said she returned the phone to the complainant through the manager of a restaurant on Victoria Island.

She said, “I met Olugbenga in 2016 in Port Harcourt when he visited my foster father, who is his friend. On May 17, around 8:00pm, I visited him in his residence on Victoria Island. He took me out and we bought some things. We had sex several times when we came back. He was tired and slept off.

“I left with his phone and ATM card and I made withdrawals of N150,000 at ATM stands in Obalende, Ikeja and VI. I went to a supermarket at Lekki Phase I and spent N363,000. I paid through PoS.

“I also did transfers of N250, 000 to some accounts. I gave some people from the money. I was just spending it and can’t calculate how much I spent altogether.”

Lagos Police spokeman, CSP Chike Oti, said the suspect had been arraigned before a Tinubu Magistrate’s Court.
