Leudjou Koyemen Joel, the Cameroonian cook who stabbed his boss, Dayo Adeleke, to death on December 20, 2016, has been sentenced to death by a Lagos High Court sitting in Igbosere.
Joel stabbed Adeleke in the neck and heart because she allegedly refused to give him a two-week salary advance which he requested for earlier that morning.
The refugee from Cameroon was being rehabilitated in a church in Lagos, when Adeleke employed him on compassionate grounds, following a request by the pastor of her church.
However, she was murdered, seven months after employing him and two months to her wedding in February, 2017, having been engaged 3 months earlier.
