According to Mrs Kuforiji-Olubi: She is the only who has access to items declared missing.". However, those who privy to happenstances at the Otunba's Apapa household insist Foluke was unjustly accused and the lady, who had been working for Otunba for over two years, has been languishing in detention for more than the stipulated 48 hours.


All spirited efforts at securing her bail was frustrated. At some point, Folake was said to have contemplated suicide. Insiders claim Foluke is innocent of the matter.


According to sources, the melodrama started when Foluke wanted to quit as Otunba's domestic servant. It was then she was accused of stealing N300, 000 at the first instance. Later the amount was raised to N350, 000 and then to N8 million.


We were told that Foluke has been tortured in detention. A series of searches was conducted on her bags and room and no money or jewelry was found.

Sources say Foluke's arrest is not an isolated case. They claimed that some of the staffer of the former bank chief have also suffered the same fate, while leaving their job in Olubi's household.
"It's the same thing she did to other house girls. Immediately they signify their intention to leave the place, she (Otunba) will fake one allegation or the other and frame them up. That girl is innocent" our source insisted.


When we contacted Otunba's lawyer, he said: "What does Otunba stand to gain from witch hunting a house girl? Money and jewelry was missing, and she agreed she was the only one that had access. It is the police that are keeping the girl. No individual has the right to challenge the police on how to conduct their investigation. The lady was accused of theft and investigation is going on. If you think she needs to be released, let her relations charge the case to court, otherwise it is the police that will charge the matter to court after finalizing their investigation.
