The plan was only to threaten my boss, and tell him we needed N63,000. We had no intension of killing him. That day, I was hiding in the kitchen when Kelechi put our plan in motion. But something went wrong. He hit my boss in the head with a bottle. .
When I heard noise, I came out. My boss then said, ‘Precious, you people want to kill me?’ I said no but he came towards me and bit me in the stomach. He was dragging me and would not let go.
Kelechi was dragging him so that he could free me but when he did not, Kelechi took a knife and stabbed him twice in the stomach.”
According to The Punch, the Lagos State commissioner of police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, disclosed that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigation into the case was concluded.
