The Command’s spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, revealed this in a statement he issued on Saturday on the development.

Oyeyemi said the suspect was arrested following a complaint lodged at Onipanu Divisional Police Headquarters by one Abiodun Sunday, a neighbour to the deceased.

Sunday had reported that the deceased, Mumuni Ibrahim, a night security man, came home and met his son who was still sleeping.

And when he questioned him for still sleeping at that time of the day, the suspect got annoyed and brought out a cutlass with which he hacked the victim in five different places.

Upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer, Onipanu Division, CSP Bamidele Job, quickly mobilised his men and moved to the scene, where the suspect was arrested and victim rushed to the General Hospital for treatment.

The suspect, who is strongly suspected to be a cultist, had no reasonable explanation for his action when interrogated.

On March 31, 2022, the victim gave up the ghost while receiving treatment at the General Hospital.

The family insisted on burying him according to the dictate of his religion.

The Command’s Commissioner, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
