the incident that occurred at the Utako mechanic
workshop, behind Beggar Yard, in the Federal Capital
Territory, Abuja as a young man identified as Murphy
left his apprentice with an unimaginable cut on his head
for looking away while a car was being fixed at his
workshop.
The incident which happened on Monday resulted into
rushing the apprentice identified as Joseph Pam to a
nearby clinic with his head severely broken.
An eyewitness told DAILY POST that Murphy who is
known to be highly temperamental broke Joseph's
head with a chain after he looked away while work
was ongoing.
Pam, who hails from Jos, Plateau State told DAILY POST
that he had been an apprentice under Murphy for one
year and ten months. He said, " I did not do anything to
my Oga. While he was working on a vehicle, I turned to
look elsewhere. This infuriated him, and out of anger,
he attack me with a chain, leaving me with severe cut
on my head."
Corroborating what Pam said, a fellow apprentice
under Murphy who identified himself as David, said
"Pam and Murphy were working on a car together and
at a point, the victim lost concentration, and before
anybody knew what was happening, oga hit Pam with a
chain on his head, leaving him with a very deep cut, and
he was not even sorry about it"
David further added that when Murphy attacked Pam,
he rushed the victim to a nearby pharmacy where he
was treated.
"We were asked to pay N1,500. I had just a thousand
naira on me, but another customer in the pharmacy
completed the money, Oga Murphy was not concerned
about the health condition of his apprentice. Funny
enough, Pam has served with him for one year and ten
months." David said.
When DAILY POST correspondent visited the scene of
the attack, some people were seen in groups discussing
what transpired.
A food vendor, Bisi who condemned the act noted that
the culprit should be brought to book, as nothing
should warrant attacking his apprentice with a chain.
Murphy, while talking with Daily POST showed no
remorse for his action. He simply said he attacked his
apprentice with a chain out of anger, adding that Pam
was was very stubborn and never listens.
Lamenting his inability to contact the police, Pam said
he could not report the case to the police because he
had nobody here in Abuja to fight his course but
pleaded with our reporter to help bring Murphy to
justice
