arrested in connection with an alleged murder in Ibadan.
He said that the corpse of the deceased has been deposited
at Adeoyo Hospital in Ibadan.
He added that another person, a driver, was arrested in
connection with the unlawful possession of human parts.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that one Usman Azeez
(male), aged 27, allegedly had unlawful carnal knowledge of a 14-year-old girl
while she went to fetch water from a nearby river. The suspect was arrested and
is currently in police custody, having reportedly confessed to the offence.
Investigation is ongoing, after which the suspect will be charged to court in
accordance with the law.
“In a suspected murder case reported at the Tede Police
Division, preliminary findings revealed that a misunderstanding between
Abdulraheem Koni (male), aged 20, and his employer, Lateef Giwa (male), aged
35, escalated into a violent assault, resulting in fatal injuries to the
victim.
“During the altercation, Lawal Ibrahim (male), aged 22,
allegedly stabbed Raimi Ige (male), aged 18, with a broken bottle, inflicting
fatal injuries. The victim later succumbed while being conveyed to the
hospital. The suspect was arrested, and the corpse deposited at the Adeoyo
State Hospital morgue for post-mortem examination.
“In another operation, operatives of the Federal Highway
Patrol intercepted a commercial vehicle during routine stop-and-search along
the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway near Guru Maharaji Village. A search of the vehicle
led to the recovery of a red cloth containing bones and other items suspected
to be parts of a human corpse concealed among the luggage. The driver, Kazeem
Ayegbo (male), travelling from Lagos to Osogbo, was apprehended.”
