An 18-year old former sales girl, Angela Uzordima has been arrested and charged before Isolo Magistrates court for allegedly sending threat text messages to her female boss and popular socialite, Folayo Adeola over N6000 salary debt.
The teenager has since been remanded in prison custody after she failed to meet her bail condition.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the embattled sales girl finished her secondary school and started working as a sale girl at Adeola’s boutique located at Duduyemi street, market bus stop in Egbeda.
It was learnt that they agreed on a monthly salary of N9,000 before Angela traveled to her village for a burial.
According to Angela, before she traveled, Adeola only gave her N3,000 out of her N9,000 salary remaining N6,000 only.
She said when she returned from the burial, Adeola had employed another worker while she asked her the balance of her salary but she refused to pay her.
P.M.EXPRESS gathered that following the refusal by Adeola to pay her, she wrote threat messages through her phones and gave the complainant her account number at Fidelity Bank Plc.
She warned the complainant that if she did not pay the money, Adeola’s family will face danger.
The complainant became afraid that Angela knew much about her family and she might plan something evil against the family.
According to Adeola, “when I received the text messages, I contacted my husband in Abuja who immediately contacted the police at Idimu Command.”
P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the police tracked Uzordima through the bank and arrested her and took her to the station.
At the station, she admitted that she sent the text messages and explained that she worked for Adeola but she refused to pay her.
However, the police insisted that she committed an offence and charged her before the court under the Criminal Code.
The presiding Magistrate, Mr A.O Ogbe granted her bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum.
She was remanded in prison custody pending when she will perfect her bail condition.
The matter was adjourned till July 2017.

The girl maybe ignorance of the offense but,why didn't the madam pay her the money,she maybe frustrated and hungry.In any case she should be pardoned and cautioned. When you put underaged hawkers and likes of these in the same jail,what do we except?
