A disturbing incident has occurred in Delta state which an employee allegedly clubbed his boss to death with a pestle due to a dispute over an unpaid salary of N300,000. 26-year-old suspect, Awaji Moses, from Benue State, while being paraded, confessed that he k!lled the victim, Victor Ochei, 38, on June 22 after being owed salary since last November. He said he had worked for his employer for 1 year plus and his salary stopped coming after a few months. He added that he was only given N500 daily to eat. He quit work when his salary was not forthcoming but said his boss pleaded with him to resume again. His salary was allegedly still withheld after he resumed work, so he k!lled his boss while they were on their way to buy palm fruits. He explained that he is usually the only one who goes to buy the palm fruit. However, on that fateful day, his boss chose to follow him since work was not going on that day at the oil mill. His boss rode his motorcycle while the suspects sat behind, directing him. When they got to the forest, he said he picked up a pestle used for pounding palm fruits and hit his boss twice on the neck, k!lling him.After k!lling the man, he absconded with his phone and when relatives who were trying to reach him called, he told them the boss has been kidnapped and a ransome of N10 million should be paid. The victim's sister sent N300,000 to the Opay account that was provided by the suspect. He became a suspect when it was discovered that he also disappeared after his boss went missing. When he was found, they discovered the boss' phone on him and he was arrested. Delta State Police spokesperson,  Bright Edafe, said the suspect would be charged to court after investigation is complete.
