The late Temidayo Adeleke who was stabbed to death by her Cameroonian house help has been buried. The woman was la!d to rest at The Vaults and Gardens, Ikoyi, Lagos State on Thursday amid tears.
The families and friends of the deceased held a funeral service at Guiding Light Assembly on Parkview Estate, where the victim lived. Adeleke was killed after her domestic worker Joel Ludguo had approached the 32-year-old victim around 10.30pm on Tuesday, December 20, 2016, and asked for advance payment of N15,000 out of his N27,000 salary.
Adeleke, whose marriage was slated for early 2017, was said to have pleaded with him to be patient, saying she did not have naira notes on her. The angry domestic worker left the boss’ living room in anger only to return a few minutes later with a knife and stabbed her in the chest.
The police had said the 22-year-old cleaner was desperate to send the money to his girlfriend in Cameroon, adding that the suspect would be duly prosecuted.
The security guard of the Adelekes’ residence, who identified himself simply as Abbah revealed details of the encounter and said: “The boy is wicked and I have always warned him. He takes drugs. When policemen checked his clothes, they found tremor there. Madam bought him a new phone last month and she usually gave him money apart from his salary. She brought him home through her church member last month and they lived in her flat.
“It was the driver who lives in the adjoining flat that heard madam scream. By the time he got there, she was gasping with blood gushing out of her chest. The driver alerted me immediately to stop Joel at the gate and he was later arrested,” he had said.
A mammoth crowd flooded The Vaults and Gardens on Thursday during the burial of the victim as tears streamed down the faces of many sympathisers.
