In what has been described as a public disgrace, a 36-year old single woman, Jane Okeke has been stripped naked and arrested after she was caught stealing some clothes at PEP Super Store in Isolo, Lagos.
P.M.EXPRESS learnt the suspect went to an inner room provided
to customers to test their selected clothes by the management
before they make payment. However, Okeke reportedly selected 11
different wears and went inside the changing room with her
handbag, pretended to be trying on those clothes before she could
make payment.
Unknown to the management, Okeke had another motive. She
reportedly removed her old clothes she
had kept in her bag, including the clothes she worn and changed
them with some of the new clothes she selected from the store,
wore some she pretended wanting to buy. However, as she made
to exit the store, the security demanded to search her and it was
during that exercise that the management discovered what she
did.
She was stripped of those clothes she had already worn and was
immediately handed over to the police by the management.
At the police station, Anambra State-born Okeke confessed that
she stole and that the store's management took back their clothes
including the ones she already wore leaving her naked. She said
she was a drop-out student of Federal Polytechnics Oko, Anambra
where she hails from.
She said she could not complete her programme in the school due
to finance occasioned by the death of her father and had to come
to Lagos to hustle to make ends meet.
Okeke was arraigned before Isolo Magistrate's court with conduct
likely to cause breach of public peace and stealing under the
Criminal code. She pleaded not guilty. The presiding Magistrate,
Mrs A.K. Shonubi granted her bail in the sum of N10,000 with one
surety. She was however remanded in prison custody pending
when she will perfect her bail. The matter was adjourned till 20
February 2017.
