Police Arrests Ketu Lagos School Head Teacher David Ijadele For Stealing N305 K WAEC Money

David Ijadele, a 38-year-old headteacher who allegedly
stole N305, 200 from Rich Way School, Ikosi-Ketu in
Lagos, was on Wednesday brought before an Ogudu
Magistrate’s Court.
The accused, a resident of Elebiju in Ketu area, is facing
a charge of stealing.
According to the prosecutor, Sgt. Lucky Ihiehie, the
complainant, Mrs Aderonke Adewole, reported the theft
at Ketu Police Station.
Ihiehie said the complainant, the proprietress of the
school, had employed the accused as the headteacher
and accountant of the school in 2014.
He said the complainant discovered that the N305,000
was missing from the school between September 2015
and January 2016 when the accused left the school.
“The accused had collected money from the students to
register them for WAEC examinations and other fees for
laboratory.
“Some students’ school fees and some amount meant
for the teachers’ salary which he did not remit to the
schools’ account are also included in the N305, 200.”
Ihiehie added that the accused, knowing full well what
he had done, decided to resign from the school before
he could be exposed.
