The police command in Ogun has arrested one Ifeoma Ossai for
allegedly killing Surulere Oladele, her landlord, following a scuffle over
payment of an electricity bill.
In a statement on Tuesday, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the command
spokesperson, said Ossai was arrested after the death of Oladele was reported
at the police station.
Oyeyemi said the disagreement ensued after the deceased
asked Ossai for the payment of her electricity bill.
He said the scuffle took another dimension when Ossai
allegedly dragged her landlord by his male organ.
“Consequently, the
landlord fell unconsciously on the ground and he was rushed to General
Hospital, Ota where the doctor on duty confirmed him dead,” the statement
reads.
“Upon the report, the DPO Sango Ota division, CSP Saleh
Dahiru, quickly led his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly
arrested and taken to custody for investigation.”
While being interrogated, Ossai told the police that the
disagreement degenerated after she insisted that the deceased fix water to her
apartment as promised.
“On interrogation,
the suspect claimed that the deceased asked her to pay for the 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,” Oyeyemi said.
“This led to a scuffle between them, consequent upon which
the suspect grabbed the m___nhood of the deceased and dragged him with it.
“The deceased subsequently slumped, and he was rushed to the
hospital but was pronounced dead by the doctor on duty.
“The corpse has been deposited at the hospital mortuary for
postmortem examination.
“The commissioner of police, CP Frank Mba, has ordered the
immediate transfer of the suspect to the homicide section of the State criminal
investigation departments for further investigation and diligent prosecution.”
