According to report, the suspect admitted to knocking out seven teeth from Sattish Kasara, an Indian national and manager of Bolaji Drilling Company in Minna, Niger State. It was gathered that Kasara allegedly withheld Yusuf's wages because he learnt that the worker was planning a trip to go and see his family members and feared he might not come back to work.
Yusuf told Punchng news that he promised to return to work within a week, adding that Kasara refused to pay him his salaries.
According to Yusuf he stated, "I was begging him to pay my salaries to facilitate my journey to Bauchi, he didn't even listen or give me audience; then the next day, I went to his house, forced his door open and inflicted injuries on his head with a hammer. I knocked out seven of his teeth as a result."
He added that he had worked for Kasara for over five years during which he had not visited his parents. "I have worked with this man for over five years without seeing my parents; it hurts me a lot and I cannot bear it any longer. I am not asking for his favor; all I'm asking for is my salary."
Yusuf accused foreign company owners of maltreating Nigerians, saying, "I don't know why they don't treat Nigerians well and the FG is keeping quiet over it. How can I work for a foreigner in my own country at the end of the month he will not pay; can that happen in their own country."
The Niger State Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Abubakar, said that police operatives recovered a hammer and a pipe from Yusuf, adding that he would be charge to court after investigation.
