A security guard has been arrested by the police for allegedly stabbing his boss to death and carting away with his belongings.
David Kwaguru and two of his friends killed the victim, a 25-year-old final year Civil Engineering student, Innocent Ndukwe, at his (deceased) residence, making away with a Nissan Pathfinder with number plate, KRD109AD, two plasma TV sets, one home theatre and other valuables.
In his confession, Kwaguru defended himself saying it was for the sole purpose of celebrating a lavish Christmas next month.
“Since oga Ndukwe had the money (because of his wealthy parents) and expensive household electronics, we decided to kill him, put the devices inside his vehicle and drive to Plateau State where we come from.
“We waited and monitored him. And when he went into the toilet, we broke the door open, tied his hands and legs and started stabbing him all over his body. We stabbed him several times in the neck and abdomen so that he would die quickly. After killing him, we drove off in the jeep only to be nabbed by the police at West End Road in Owerri.”
His accomplice, Ayuba, tried to absolve himself by apportioning blame at Amos, whom he said was the first to strike the victim in the neck while he stabbed him in the stomach.
“It was Kwagwuru who told us about the student. Since we are all from the same state, we decided to run back to Plateau after the crime, and not to return to the South-East ever again. We also planned to sell the vehicle and other valuables and share the loot.”
They were both caught as a result of a call to the police control room by concerned citizens, which led policemen to the crime scene.
