The Lagos State Police command has arrested a 24-year-old security guard over the death of a domestic staff in the Lekki area of the state.
The suspect, Barnabas Job, and 26-year-old housemaid, Miss Tereza Ekibi, were working in the same house before Ekibi was hacked with a cutlass. The police said they have arrested Job as he was the only one who would explain what happened to the lady who was under the same roof with him at the time the dastardly act was committed.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Benjamin Hundeyin, said the housemaid was allegedly murdered in her bedroom by the suspect, at the same house they both worked as guard and maid. He said a deep cut was discovered on the head of the deceased found in her bedroom, stressing that the motive of the suspect was yet unknown.
He said the cutlass used by the suspect was recovered with bloodstain on it, adding that the force was investigating to know the motive behind the murder. Hundeyin said the suspect had been taken to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, (SCIID) Panti, alongside the cutlass, where the Homicide Section of the department was investigating the matter.
