A Lagos-based photographer, identified as TonySteve, has offered a N500,000 reward for information that could help recover his stolen equipment and the footage of five weddings.
CDA News Nigeria reports that the bag was stolen on October 31 while he covered a wedding at Oriental Hotel, Lagos. He said it was taken from inside the bride’s room.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the bag contained a MacBook Pro M1 and four external hard drives holding about five weddings yet to be delivered to clients.
“These are not just files. They are people’s once in a lifetime memories,” he said in a statement.
He added that the loss also threatens months of work and his livelihood.
He said CCTV footage obtained from the hotel shows an individual entering, taking the bag and leaving the premises. CDA News Nigeria has not seen the footage and cannot confirm the identity of anyone shown.
The photographer said the N500,000 reward is for credible information leading to the identification of the individual and recovery of the items, through the appropriate authorities.
