A gateman identified as Abdullahi Dairu has been nowhere to be found following the murder of a 67-year-old man, Chief Augustine Nwalieze, a manager with Okeyson Transport.

Chief Nwalieze’s body was discovered with deep machete wounds in his home at Ajah area of Lagos State, a development that has thrown his family and friends into mourning.

It was learned that Nwalieze was attacked Saturday morning as he prepared to go out.

Nwalieze lived with his wife, daughter, two maids, and another woman, who were upstairs at the time of the incident.

A family source said the victim’s gateman identified as Abdullahi Dairu has been nowhere to be found since the incident.

According to the source, Dairu allegedly attacked Nwalieze for yet-to-be-ascertained reasons as the victim walked downstairs to the car park, close to the store where spare parts from his cars are kept and a solar panel was stored.

“Nobody could really tell what happened. They didn’t hear the sound of any car driving off or the gate opening.

His three cars were still parked, so, they became worried about his whereabouts.

They called his phone, but he didn’t pick up,” the source said.

The source added that Dairu could not give a straight answer when questioned about his boss’ whereabouts.

They went to Abdullahi Dairu, and he mentioned one of his friends, claiming he went out with him. But when the wife called that same friend, he said he hadn’t seen him that day,” the source stated.

The case against Dairu grew stronger after he went into hiding, the source further stated.“

By the time they returned to question him again, he had disappeared. That was when they began to search the compound thoroughly.

They found his lifeless body in one of the flats downstairs.

He had machete cuts on his head, hands, and body. It was a terrible sight,” the source disclosed.

The victim was immediately rushed to hospital but efforts to revive him failed.
