Michael Salako has been apprehended by men of the Ogun state police command for allegedly an Okada driver to death in the Lafenwa area of Abeokuta.
DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, spokesperson of the state police command said the suspect was apprehended following a distress call received by the Dpo Lafenwa divisional headquarters, at about 12 noon, that an Okada rider had been beaten to death at Sanni street, Lafenwa Abeokuta.
“Upon the distress call, the Dpo CSP Samuel Aladegoroye, rallied his men and moved to the scene where the suspect was promptly apprehended.
On interrogation, the suspect, who claimed to have known the deceased in their community informed the police that he asked the deceased to take him somewhere with his motorcycle the previous day and the deceased declined.
He stated further that when he saw him on that fateful day, he was trying to question him for his reasons for refusing to take him out the previous day and that led to fight between them. While the fighting was going on, the deceased collapsed and gave up the ghost.” the statement read
Abimbola said the corpse of the victim simply identified as Abudu has been deposited in the morgue for autopsy.
