The Hawks’ team was summoned to the scene by the management and found Ayodeii still at the establishment. This was after a Nedbank card division investigator alerted the staff to the suspicious transaction.
Ayodeii was consequently detained, the court has since remanded him in custody and the case is due back in court on Monday,12 April 2021.
