Idah, in an interview with Punch, said he and his boss had a great relationship when he started dealing with her however they fell out when she began to complain about his attitude. Idah says he wasn't paid his salary and so stole two cellphones, a DVD player, speakers, perfume, wrist watches, three trousers and four shirts owned by her son to sell them, get money and leave.
She discovered he'd stolen these things and invited the authorities who came in and was about to start prosecution of the 21 year old Benue indigine when she (Justice Timeyin) pleaded together to let him off the hook and even wrote a letter of withdrawal to the police. She said she did not need Idah tried but she sacked him and told him not come back to work for her again.....
A few days after he was released from police custody and angered by his sack, Idah went to the retired judge's house, scaled the fence, got hold of the cutlass he used for gardening and waited for her to step out of her house and then attacked her with the cutlass, cutting her three times on the neck. She screamed for help which attracted her neighbors and vigilante in the area who caught Idah in the bush behind the house where he had gone to hide and was trying to escape...

Sadly Justice Timeyin died before she could get to the hospital.
Idah was employed by the 65year olf retired chief Magistrate to help around her house since all her children had all grown up and left the house. Idah was yesterday arraigned before the magistrate, Anthony Araba, of the Magistrate Court 1 and pleaded guilty to one count charge of Murder.
