According to him: “I am here because I killed my madam. Last month, I worked with her for five months. I was her cook. She just employed a driver, who has only worked for two weeks.
“One day, the driver came to me and said N150,000 just entered madam account.
“He told me we should kill my madam and collect the money. I said I had not killed someone before.
“On Saturday, madam said I should come and help her wash clothes that she was very tired.
“The driver came around and madam was surprised but the driver explained that he wanted to help her.
“That day, the driver brought a drink and gave it to me. I drank it. He brought out a cutlass and started threatening me that he would also kill me.
“We went into the house and he pushed me inside. He said I should use a cutlass to hit the woman. I did it. But I started crying.
“After we killed the woman, the driver went to check the money in the account and found only N60,000. He gave me N30,000. I went to Idanre.
“After four days, we heard the woman has died. Police called us to come and explain when last we saw the woman. I told them and they asked me to go home.”
“They called me again and told me I was in communication with the driver. I had to confess.”
Meanwhile, the police commissioner, Abayomi Oladipo said: “On the afternoon of July 28, 2024, officers at the Oda Division police headquarters received an unsettling report.

“Officers rushed to the scene, where they discovered a grim sight, the mutilated body of Mrs Deborah on her bed.
” Nearby, a blood-stained machete and a mobile phone hinted at the violence that had taken place.
“This tragic incident was quickly escalated to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID.
“Through painstaking investigative works and technical intelligence, our officers arrested 17-year-old Philip Emmanuel, a trusted employee of the deceased.
“In a shocking confession, Emmanuel revealed that he had conspired with Mrs. Deborah’s driver to kill her.
“The driver, eager to start a “yahoo” business, suggested they steal her ATM card, having overheard that a large sum of money was soon to be deposited into her account.
“On July 25, 2024, Emmanuel and the driver carried out their horrific plan.
“After lurking around till the unsuspecting woman fell asleep, they brutally attacked her, stole her ATM card, and withdrew a total of N60,000.
“The driver remains at large, and efforts to apprehend him are ongoing.”
Oladipo added, “The tragic murder of Mrs. Deborah underscores the importance of exercising caution when discussing sensitive financial information, especially around employees or individuals who might misuse such knowledge.”

Embrace environmental sanitation during Eid-Fitr, LAGESC boss tells Lagosians
Embrace environmental sanitation during Eid-Fitr, LAGESC boss tells Lagosians
By Dada Jackson
The Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) has urged Lagosians to embrace proper environmental practices and obey the state’s environmental laws ahead of the Eid-l-Fitr festivities to mark the end of the Ramadan fast by Muslim faithful around the world.
Corps Marshal of the agency, Major Olaniyi Olatunbosun Cole (retd), sounded the call at the agency’s command headquarters at Bolade-Oshodi.
He said, ‘‘The Ramadan fast is a testament to the willingness of Muslim faithful to adhere to the pillars of their faith and it is enjoined that cleanliness is an important religious practice in all faiths, which is why we admonish Lagosians to imbibe proper waste disposal and keep their environment clean during the celebration.”
Cole also advised Lagosians to make proper use of pedestrian bridges for their safety instead of crossing highways to prevent ‘hit and run’ cases by speeding motorists.
He equally read a riot act to miscreants in the habit of converting pedestrian bridges to sleeping areas which deters Lagosians in transit, pedestrians vowing that anyone caught w be made to face the state Environmental laws as amended
The KAI boss also revealed that the agency had recorded giant strides and would not relent in ridding pedestrian bridges across Lagos of criminal obstructions, traders and hawkers with daily arrests made alongside secured prosecutions by the Courts.
The Corps Marshal also warned Lagosians to desist from street trading, use of Styrofoam pack, hawking in traffic, patronage of cart pushers for refuse disposal, and erection of illegal structures on laybys, setbacks, medians, road verges, kerbs or around public schools in the state.
The KAI head said offenders would be made to face the consequences via prosecution in a competent court of appropriate jurisdiction.
