A Sabo-Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Lagos, on Monday, remanded Victor Abayomi, former Lagos State governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s chef, for allegedly stealing valuables worth millions at his Ikoyi residence.
Chief Magistrate Peter Nwaka ordered the remand of the defendant for 30 days in Ikoyi Correctional Centre.
Nwaka, however, adjourned the case until April 8 for investigation and presentation of facts.
Abayomi whose house address was not provided, is standing trial on a two-court charge of conspiracy and theft.
Earlier, the legal officer, Joshua Babalola, in employment of the State Security Service (SSS), told the court that Abayomi and some others still at large committed the offences at the residence of the former governor.
Babalola alleged that the defendant carted away valuable items worth millions of naira from his employer’s residence at Ikoyi.
He said the defendant absconded to Old Garage, Molorundo Local Government Area, Osun State, where he was arrested by SSS operatives on March 7.
