Conductor kills driver, dumps body in well

The Police in Abuja are trying to unravel the circumstances surrounding the gruesome death of a 65-year-old pickup van driver, Dayo Johnson.
Johnson was allegedly murdered by his assistant, Mr Bashal Ali, last Friday at Shagari quarters, Dei-Dei in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

A senior police officer at Zuba police station, who craved anonymity, confirmed the incident.
He said: “On Friday afternoon, we got a distress call from a Good Samaritan that a young Hausa boy, Bashal Ali, who hails from Sokoto, has murdered his boss at a remote part of Shagari quarters in Dei-Dei, dumped his body in a well and was preparing to flee with the victim’s vehicle. We dispatched our team of crime officers to the venue and the story turned out to be real.
"From what we established, the suspect, Bashal Ali, was a motorbike rider. He lived in an isolated place, an empty but fenced plot at Shagari quarters in Dei-Dei. But he confirmed that the victim, Dayo Johnson, the driver of the pick-up van, engaged him as his conductor. They took a consignment to Kaduna that Friday and when they returned to Abuja, he lured the man to drop him off at his Dei-Dei house."
