A 22-year-old Cameroonian, Joel Ludguo has been arrested by the Nigerian Police for allegedly killing his Nigerian boss, Miss Temidayo Adeleke.
Ludguo had approached his boss, whose marriage was scheduled for early 2017, in her apartment around 10.30am on Tuesday, asking her to give him N15,000 out of his December salary so he could travel, Punch reports.
Adeleke reportedly explained to him that she didn’t have naira notes on her and told him to be patient.
He was said to have walked out on the woman in anger only to return with a knife and stabbed her in the chest.
A source told the newspaper that Ludguo wanted to flee the house, but the woman’s driver and a security guard put a distress call to the Ikoyi Police Division.
“The cleaner said the woman had not paid him his December salary. It was just a month’s salary and the month has not even ended. He collects N27,000 per month.
“He used a knife to stab the woman in the chest. The woman shouted, which alerted the driver and security guard. He wanted to escape when policemen arrived at the house and arrested him,” the source said.
The Lagos State Police Command is yet to confirm the incident.
