Police say they apprehended Jackson when the complainant, Egbujor Stella Uzoamaka reported the incident to the Divisional Police Officer, DPO in charge of Ikoyi Division, CSP Tijani Mustapha N’abba.

According to her deposition, she had left her cook at home in trust for work and that before she returned, her cook broke into her apartment to steal her diamond ring and gold necklace worth 1 €900 and escaped.
