Two security guards identified as Ayuba Idris and Taisu Abubakar have been arrested over the murder of their employer, Kwakye Kwaku Richard, 71, and his daughter Kwakye Tope, 27, in Akure, Ondo State.
However, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Undie Adie, said the suspected killers were employed as guards by the deceased. Idris, 20, was arrested in Kano State on May 16, 2019 and the handset and suits of the deceased were recovered from him.
Detectives also tracked down the other suspect, Abubakar, in Sokoto State and one of the deceased’s laptop computers and some clothes were recovered from him.
The suspect thereafter led detectives to a building at Ojomo Akintan Estate, Olu Foam area along Ilesha-Owo expressway, Akure, where the decomposed bodies of Richard and Tope were found.
The CP said, upon interrogation, they confessed to the murder of the victims because he refused to pay their three months’ salary arrears. They also decided to kill the daughter because she saw them the day they killed her father.
