His arrest came on the crest of discovery, by police, in the crime scene, the electric saw believed to have been used to dismember his body.

It was also discovered that the alleged murderer killed his boss to prevent him from paying the tens of thousands of dollars he stole from the deceased, which he promised to pay back in installment, even though the late Gokada boss did not inform the police about the theft.
