The 22-year-old suspect who stabbed his boss four times in the stomach, ransacked her home and made away with three phones, clothes and jewels, escaped to Bali, Taraba State, where officers of the Lagos State police force, apprehended him.
While being paraded at the Police Command headquarters in Ikeja, Tanko confessed that he had no reason to kill his boss.
He admitted to stabbing the deceased with scissors and a knife he used in cutting flowers around the compound.
He said,
“I was employed in August 2016; I had not yet stayed up to a month when the incident happened. She agreed to pay me N18,000 at the end of the month.
“On that Wednesday, she had asked me to cut the flowers. When I was done, I went inside my room. There were only three of us in the apartment.
“She called me and I went inside the sitting room. I was with the knife and the scissors I had just used to cut the flowers.
