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.

” 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.”
