Lagos State Police Command’s spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, has advised employers to exercise due diligence when hiring drivers or domestic staff and to conduct background checks at the Central Criminal Registry at the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Alagbon, and the forensic unit before employment.
This, he said, would save them from hiring criminals disguising as employees.
He made this known in Ikeja on Tuesday while parading one Amos Daniel, who stole his employer’s car and took it to a church for blessing.
Confessing to the crime, Daniel said: “I stole my madam’s Lexus car and took it to the church to testify that God has blessed me. I intended to use it for Uber and use the proceeds to pay my debt. I stole the car on June 23, 2024, the very first day I was employed, and I took it to church on June 30, 2024.”
Amos was paraded alongside other robbery suspects, including a dismissed soldier, Akeem Suleiman.
