Police in Ogun State have arrested a 33-yr-old single mother, Ifeoma Ossai, for allegedly killing her 50-yr-old landlord, Surulere Oladele over disagreement.
Ifeoma was arrested in Saturday,March 11th following a report lodged at the Nigeria Police Divisional Headquarters Sango Ota by Mr Olaleye Taiwo, who reported that his brother, Oladele had a quarrel with his tenant over the non payment of electricity bill.
A statement released by the spokesperson of the state police command, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi disclosed that Ifeoma grabbed the deceased’s manhood and dragged him along with it, causing the landlord to fall to the ground.
He said the victim of this assault was rushed in an unconscious state to the Ota General Hospital, where the doctor on duty confirmed him dead.
Upon the report, Oyeyemi said the DPO of Sango Ota Division, CSP Saleh Dahiru, had immediately led his men to the scene where the suspect was arrested.
During interrogation, the suspect had claimed that “the deceased asked her to pay for electricity bill, but she insisted that until water is directly connected to her apartment as promised by the landlord before she packed in, she will not pay the electricity or any other utility bill.”
This, it was learnt, led to a scuffle between them and she grabbed the deceased’s manhood and dragged him with it.
Oyeyemi said the corpse had been deposited at the mortuary for post-mortem.
Meanwhile, Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Frank Mba, has ordered that the suspect be transferred to the homicide section of the State CIID for further investigation and diligent prosecution
