Bar attendant arrested for allegedly killing boss over N63,000

A bar attendant with Kingsbar, Precious Victor, yesterday
 gave a startling account of how he invited two of his
 friends to murder his boss, in his apartment in Anifowose area of Ikeja, Lagos, last Friday , over N63,000.

The suspect, an Ordinary National Diploma holder from
 the Moshood Abiola University, Ogun state, was paraded
alongside an alleged accomplice, Ahmed Abubakar, with a
second accomplice identified simply as Kelechi, still on the
run.

Speaking with journalists, Victor, revealed that the initial
 plan was not to kill his boss but to threaten him with a knife 
in order to get N63,000 from him.

He said “I needed N63, 000 for some personal need. So I
invited my friend, Kelechi, to act as a robber by threatening
my boss with a knife in his apartment.

On the fateful day, I went with him but stayed by the door.

Then all of a sudden, I heard the sound of a bottle being
smashed on somebody inside.

I went inside at that moment to find out what was
 happening and discovered that it was Kelechi who smashed
 a bottle on my boss’s head when he refused to part with some money.

When my boss saw me, he called my name and asked if I
wanted to kill him. He held me and bit me on stomach. I
called on Kelechi to rescue me. Kelechi tried to drag me out
 of the room, but my boss bit harder, clinching his teeth to my
flesh. It was at that point that Kelechi stabbed my boss twice
on his stomach, thereby forcing him to release his teeth .

In my confusion, I called Ahmed to drive my boss’s car out
 of the compound. I joined him and left my boss in the
 room. We drove to a hotel to plan what we would do next. Unfortunately, Ahmed. I regret my action because the plan was never to kill my boss”, he said.

However, on his part, his alleged accomplice, Abubakar, denied being in the know of the plan to kill owner of the bar. Ahmed explained that he was only at the bar penultimate
 day to drink when Victor walked up to him and asked if he could drive.

After an affirmative response, he said the keys to the car, were
flung at him. But on realizing what Victor and fleeing Kelechi
had done, he said he decided to return the car to the bar, only
to be arrested as an accomplice.

A mild drama however played, following accusation and
counter accusation on who played what role.

The suspects according to the Commissioner of Police ,
Lagos State command, Fatai Owoseni, would be charged to court, assuring that the fleeing suspect would be arrested
 and made to face same legal consequence. He added that the deceased’s vehicle driven away by the suspects had been

recovered.
