The Ondo State Police Command on Friday arrested the cook who allegedly killed his boss, Chief Opeyemi Bademosi, the Chief Executive Officer, Credit Switch Limited.
The cook, Sunday Anani, a Togolese, had stabbed his boss with a knife in his (Bademosi’s) residence on Onikoyi Lane, Parkview Estate, Ikoyi, on Wednesday, three days after he was employed.
