Mr Abimbola Oyeyemi, who is the state Police Public Relations officer has disclosed in a statement that the Ogun State police command had arrested a 47-year -old man with the name, Kazeem Adebayo, who allegedly murdered and buried his 30-year-old lover, Abosede Adesanya, over N530,000.
A complaint made by the mother of late Mrs Adesanya led to the arrest of the suspect who resides in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State. Mrs Amoke Adesanya, mother of the deceased lodged a complaint at Ijebu-Igbo divisional headquarters on Jan. 25, about a call her daughter received from her man friend on Jan. 24, who said that he had gotten a plot of land for her to buy for her mother. According to her, she claimed that her daughter left home with the total sum of N530,000.
After the report was made, the police invited the said ‘man friend’, Kazeem Adabayo,to the Ijebu-Igbo station and after he was quizzed about the whereabouts of his lover, he was quick to answer and denied knowing the where about of the deceased.
This prompted the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, to order the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Dcp Wale Abbas , to take over the investigation, with the view of discovering the mystery behind the sudden disappearance of the victim. After a thorough search at the suspect ‘s house, a shallow grave was found inside the house and when the grave was dug out, the body of the victim was found. Seeing his secret open, Mr Kazeem confessed to killing the deceased.
