Visual Plus Studio says it is seeking information regarding a former staff member, Mr Lord-Enyia Daniel, following the disappearance of several company assets on July 18, 2017.
According to the company, internal records and CCTV footage reviewed after the incident allegedly showed Mr Lord-Enyia removing equipment from the premises without authorization. The missing items reportedly included a Nikon D800 camera valued at approximately ₦2 million, an iPhone worth about ₦400,000, an Apple laptop valued at ₦550,000, and other production equipment, with the total estimated loss put at nearly ₦5 million.
The company said Mr. Lord-Enyia could no longer be reached following the incident and that efforts to recover the missing items were unsuccessful. It added that the CCTV recordings and inventory records formed part of the evidence compiled in connection with the matter.
Visual Plus Studio said efforts to recover the items and contact the former employee were unsuccessful. The company stated that relevant information and evidence were compiled and made available to the appropriate authorities. He was reported to have fled to Ghana.
Visual Plus Studio, a photography studio operating in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, stated that it has since strengthened its asset management and security procedures. The company urged anyone with relevant information regarding the whereabouts of the missing equipment to contact the appropriate authorities.
As of the time of reporting, no court judgment or official statement from law enforcement confirming criminal liability had been made publicly available. The case was registered at the Amadi Police Station and investigations are ongoing.
