A manhunt has begun for a domestic worker, Joseph Monday Ogede, who allegedly killed a guard, Abdullahi Inusa, at Magodo, on the outskirts of Lagos.

The police, it was learnt, have thrown their dragnet to catch Ogede, who fled after allegedly killing Inusa on Friday following a disagreement.

Lagos Command spokesman Bala Elkana, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), told The Nation on the phone yesterday that efforts were on to get the suspect.

He urged residents to alert the police once the suspect is seen.


Elkana said: “We received the information on April 5, at about noon. We visited the crime scene and moved the body to the mortuary for autopsy. The Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti has taken over the investigation.”
