Mr. Ovuironye Mathew Dennis, a passenger was reportedly caught stealing on an Aero contractors 6.45am flight from Lagos to Abuja. 

THE NATION reports that a wrap of Maurijiana was also found on the thief, Dennis. Narrating how he was caught, the media house said, Dennis was spotted by a member of the airline’s cabin crew when he removed the Austrian’s bag from the cockpit as if he was changing his seat. He had removed the bag from the cockpit where the Austrian sat, took it to his own seat, giving the impression that he was changing his seat.

He however ran out of luck when a female cabin crew raised alarm, asked him to remain seated while he was trying to return the bag to the cockpit before the Austrian could suspect any foul play.

''While trying to return the bag I asked him to seat down. But he became uncomfortable before the plane landed and the white man raised alarm that he couldn’t find his bag'', the flight attendant said.

The cabin crew member told the Austrian to check the bag with Dennis. The Austrian checked and identified it as his, he then proceeded to check the contents and discovered that the sum of N150, 000 and 500 Euros was missing from the bag.

Angry passengers reportedly mobbed the thief who claimed he stole the money to take care of his ailing mother.
