Operatives of the Ogun Police Command have arrested a 25-year-old man, Bisi Omoniyi for allegedly killing a 50-year-old rival at the woman’s friend’s house.

The suspect was arrested following a distress call received by the police in Owode Egbado Divisional Headquarters, that a young man had hacked man to death in Ajilete town in Yewa North LGA.

The Police Spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi told newsmen on Sunday, in Abeokuta, that following the distress call, the DPO Owode Egbado, CSP Olabisi Elebute quickly mobilised the divisional patrol team to the scene and arrested the suspect.

He said the victim was rushed to the hospital but was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.

Oyeyemi said preliminary investigation revealed that the victim, Akinyemi Wahab Alani a.k.a Ajiolopon had visited his mistress, one Kafayat Sakariyau, to pass a night at Ajilete.

He explained that the suspect, befriending the same woman, had also visited her house to pass a night before he was denied entry.

Oyeyemi said the suspect who came from the Ibasa area of Oke Odan forced his way into the women’s room and met the deceased ‘In a position the suspect described as unacceptable to him.”

This, according to the police publicist, the disagreement led to a fight between them and in the process, the suspect grabbed a cutlass in the room and hacked the victim to death.

“The corpse of the deceased has been deposited at the general hospital mortuary for autopsy, while the woman in the center of the crisis has since fled,” he said.

He quoted the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole to have 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.
