Sarah Martins, a Nollywood actress, has accused her staff member, Chike Emmanuel Osuagu, of stealing ₦3 million from her bank account within weeks of being employed.

The actress reported an unlawful transfer of ₦2 million on December 22, and a further ₦1 million shortly thereafter.
Suspicious of her missing money, Martins confronted Chike, who eventually confessed in a video.
She backed up her claims with screenshots of the transactions, which showed the funds being transferred to an accomplice's account.
Chike had also removed debit notifications from her device and sent threatening messages to mislead her.
Martins later took to social media to publicly apologise to Zenith Bank, having initially accused them of negligence before commending the bank for its prompt response.
She expressed deep disappointment over the betrayal and promised to be more cautious in the future when recruiting employees.
She wrote:
"My sincere apologies to @zenithbankplc plc for misjudging them🙏 A staff I hired barely 2weeks ago hacked into my zenith bank account and stole 2m on 22nd while I was in the kitchen with @symply_tacha and stole additional 1m on Saturday while I was busy cooking for ratels 😭😭😭😭.
"I’m posting full details later stay tuned. It gonna be a long week. He made the transactions with my phone and deleted the notification messages afterwords making me not to notice nor suspect him. Mind you, he has access to my phone because he’s my video grapher and sales manager 😭😭 My good heart will not kill me. I’m done being kind😭😭,"
