The father said Richard allegedly transferred the money into his bank account.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the 22-year-old transferred the sum of N135,000 from the account through his father’s phone.
The father, who spoke to PUNCH Metro, said he was charging his phone in the sitting room when Richard sneaked in and took it.
He said,
“Richard has done this criminal act before. He looks so gentle that when you see him, you will think he cannot commit such an act.
“The company I was working for was shut down in April 2017. We thought we would be called back, only for me to get a retirement letter in December 2017.
“In March, my boss sent N140,000 to me as part payment of my severance pay. Richard came home, saw the alert, gradually transferred N135,000 from the account and fled the house.
“I was shocked when I saw the balance in my account. So, I went to my bank and it was there that I was asked who Richard Giwa was and I said he is my son. My account statement was printed for me and I saw the transfer. I went to his mother’s house in Amikanle, but I was told that he was nowhere to be found.”
The 65-year-old, who noted that he regularly gave Richard money for upkeep, said he did not know the reason why he would steal from him.
He said the mother claimed not to know anything about the theft, adding that Richard threatened to deal with him if he did not leave his mother out of the matter.
Ade said when he reported the matter at the Alagolo Police Division, the police refused to arrest the mother, saying it was against the law to arrest a non-offender.
He lamented that he had nothing left and had been borrowing money from people to survive.
When PUNCH Metro contacted Richard, he admitted to transferring the money, saying he used it to complete his school project.
