She pleaded for forgiveness but by then the landlady had locked her apartment asking to know her purpose of sneaking in and accused her of wanting to kill her.
It was then Naomi revealed that she had no such plan but that she removed her window burglary proof to enter in order to steal from the rent the landlady had collected from tenants.

The matter was reported to the Police at Ejigbo Division; she was arrested and detained at the Station for investigation.
