The domestic staff, who had worked with the deceased for some months, is said to be on the run and has been declared wanted by the police in Lagos.
Information had it that the lifeless body of the man was discovered by a relative who had visited the house on Tuesday morning but met his absence.
The relative who noticed blood stains in the sitting room and master’s bedroom had traced the bloodstain to the septic tank, where the lifeless body of Khodari was found.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the deceased who had traveled on a business trip to Abuja the previous week, had returned last weekend to find some strangers in his house.
