A man and a woman have been found dead in a vehicle around the Mowe/Ibafo area of the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway.
The man has now been identified as an Ogun contractor named Hakeem Oladimeji.
He is said to have killed his girlfriend in their rented apartment in Bariga, Lagos, after an argument, before driving her lifeless body to Ogun State where he then killed himself.
Oladimeji, who lived in Ogun State, was in a rented apartment with his girlfriend in Bariga when an argument ensued.
The Ogun State Police on Wednesday said Hakeem had killed himself with a substance suspected to be sniper after killing his lover.
According to the State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, Hakeem had earlier been reported at the Ilaje Police Division in Lagos State for hitting an object on her head which led to her death.
The PPRO explained that the situation was reported at the station after people became suspicious as the vehicle remained on the same spot for two days.
He also debunked speculations that the couple died during sexual intercourse.
“They did not die while having sex, the man had earlier been reported at Ilaje police station in Lagos. He was reported for allegedly hitting an object on his lover’s head”.
“When the lady became unconscious, the man put her in his car and drove off. He reportedly took snipper on their way to Ogun State and they were both found dead around NASFAT,area of Mowe-Ibafo axis of the state,” Oyeyemi said.
He, however, said investigations are ongoing to ascertain remote and immediate causes of the deaths.
