A houseboy, Joseph Ode Monday Ogede, has disappeared after
stabbing his colleague to death at the Magodo Phase 2 GRA area of Lagos State.
Ogede was said to have been sacked by his employer after he had a
misunderstanding with the security guard.
It was gathered that after being sacked, Ogede came to the house
on Saturday, claiming that he came to pick the remaining of his property.
The body of the security guard was later discovered in a pool of
blood after Ogede had fled. The guard was stabbed to death with a knife, said
detectives from the Homicide Section of the Lagos State Police Command.
The Lagos State
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bala Elkana, said that the suspect
has been declared wanted by the police.
According to
Elkana, the police are trailing the suspect and would surely apprehend him
soon, so that he would face the wrath of the law.
The image maker
added: “The suspect had issue with the security guard when he was still working
in the resident. He returned to the house, pretending that he wanted to take
some of his belongings, which he left in the house. Nobody knew that he had ulterior
motive; that he came on a revenge mission against the guard. He was able to
murder the guard and escaped.”
It was gathered
that even as police man-hunt for the suspect gets underway; Ogede’s former
employer has promised a handsome reward for anyone with useful information on
how to arrest him.
The information
has also been shared on different social media sites, with a conspicuous
photograph of Ogede.
Meanwhile, it has
been gathered that the murdered security guard is a father and husband.
