‘I don’t know why I killed her’ | Suspect arrested for killing boss over salary

Contrary to reports that Abdullateef Tanko, a security guard allegedly killed his employer over salary argument, the suspect has confessed saying he didn’t kill her for such reason.

The 22-year-old Taraba State indigene had allegedly killed his employer, a 50-year-old businesswoman, Mabel Okafor, who lived alone at her residence in J68B, Close 9, Victoria Garden City (VGC), Ajah, Lagos before fleeing to his state.

He was however arrested by men of the Lagos State police command in Taraba.

While being paraded by the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Fatai Owoseni, at the command headquarters in Ikeja, Tanko said he doesn’t know why he killed her.

“I didn’t have any argument with her over my salary. When I resumed, she told me that my salary would be N18,000 and I agreed. I don’t know why I killed her. I am not a member of Boko Haram,

“Her former security guard was the one that gave me her telephone number to come and meet her. I was there for just one month before I decided to kill her. I don’t know her name. I only called her madam.

“Nobody asked me to kill her, I did it myself and I can’t point to one reason why I killed her. It was as if something entered me. When I stabbed her, she fell on the ground and shouted my name. Some neighbours came asking what happened but I told them that Madam saw a cockroach, which was why she shouted my name. They were all convinced and left. It was then that I recovered.

“I stabbed her on the stomach four times. When I saw she was dead, I became afraid and ran back to my village in Taraba State. The incident happened at night. I was already in my village when police arrested me. When she died, I carried her three phones, clothes and N10,000 from her purse. I sold the three phones for N60,000 but I haven’t sold the clothes yet. I am an orphan; I only have two sisters who were also not around when I got home. I live alone,” Tanko said.
