I killed my boss for Xmas money – Guard

Yesterday, reported how a daredevil security man connived
with his friends to murder a 25-year-old final year Civil
Engineering student of the Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Imo
State, Mr. Innocent Ndukwe.
A security guard, who was recently arrested by the Imo
State Police Command for allegedly stabbing his boss to
death and stealing his belongings, said he committed the
dastardly act because he wanted to celebrate Christmas
lavishly.
Punch reports that the guard, David Kwaguru, and two of
his friends Friday Ayuba and Francis Amos, made away
with the deceased’s Nissan Pathfinder with number plate,
KRD109AD, two plasma TV sets, one home theatre and
other valuables.
Confessing to the crime, the security guard said that the
rationale behind their evil act was that they needed money
to celebrate Christmas next month.
He said,
“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.”
Also speaking, an accomplice, Ayuba, said that it was Amos
that first struck the victim in the neck while he stabbed the
student in the stomach.
He said,
“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.”
While parading the suspects, the CP said the police control
room got a call on the incident and policemen raced to the
crime scene.
He said, “As a result, the assailants who tried to
escape were subsequently apprehended along West-
End old Nekede road, Owerri.”
He said that the deceased was found in a pool of blood in a
toilet at his residence when policemen arrived.
