A security guard, John Danjuma, has allegedly butchered his former employer simply identified as Boma to death over $10,000 court case at her residence in the GRA axis of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
It was gathered that Danjuma was earlier arrested and is standing trial for allegedly stealing Boma’s $10, 000.
Danjuma was said to have been granted bail and the case adjourned to a later date for continuation of hearing after he denied stealing the money.
According to PUNCH, a viral video captured Danjuma narrating the misunderstanding he had with the woman while being interrogated by policemen at the State Criminal and Investigation Department in Port Harcourt.
From the video, Danjuma decided to visit the residence of his former boss in the wee hours of the morning ahead of the next court hearing of the case fixed for Friday, May 12, 2023.
After finding his way into the compound, the security guard destroyed the kitchen protector in order to gain access into the main building and hid himself there to perfect his sinister motive.
The security guard then reached for a machete he found at his hiding place (kitchen), waited till it was raining then went to his former boss who he found in one of the rooms and butchered her.
After committing the crime, he left the woman sprawling on the floor in a pool of blood while he stole some of her jewellery.
However, in his attempt to escape, luck ran out of him, as neighbours raised alarm as they accosted him, seeing blood stains all over his body as he was leaving the building.
The incident was said to have created a chaotic situation leading to his arrest.
Danjuma, while being interrogated by the operatives confessed to the crime, claiming that the woman was prosecuting him in court after accusing him of stealing her money, about $10 000.
He said, “Me and she are having issues and this woman is prosecuting me in court and our case is coming up next tomorrow (Friday)
They accuse me of stealing $10, 000. But I did not steal the money.”
At this point one of the operatives as seen in the video interjected saying” Court granted you bail is that not?
“Now you know that you did not steal the money, why should you go back to her house that early morning to take her life. So, you have killed her?
Danjuma in response admitted that he killed the woman, saying,” Yes, she is dead. She is dead, I won’t lie.”
The State Police spokesperson, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, who confirmed the incident and the arrest of Danjuma, said the matter was still being investigated.
Iringe-Koko said, “Yes, the command is aware of the incident. The suspect has been arrested and the matter has been transferred to the State Criminal and Investigation Department.”
