The suspect was, however, traced to Wukari in Taraba State where he was arrested on November 23.
When paraded by the Edo State Police Commissioner, Babatunde Kokumo, the suspect denied he killed his boss.
He told journalists his brother brought him from the village for the deceased to help enrol him in school.
Zakaria claimed that the deceased was killed by some of her customers, who were angry that their phones were stolen at her shop.
Kokumo said the suspect would be arraigned after investigation.
