Police in Ogun state have arrested five men for allegedly beating twenty-five-year old Monsur Kareem to death.
A statement made available by the Ogun State Police Command’s spokesman, Mr Abimbola Oyeyemi explained that the suspects include Toheeb Popoola, Ibrahim Ridwan, Mutiu Tijani, Akeem Ishola and Lawal Afeez.
He hinted that the suspects were arrested after the deceased’s father, Mr. Najeem Kareem, reported that the suspects beat his son to coma following a misunderstanding.
The statement said the deceased was rushed to the hospital but was confirmed dead by the doctor on arrival.
According to Mr. Oyeyemi preliminary investigation had shown that the deceased was intervening in a misunderstanding between a landlord and a tricycle owner in the area.
The police spokesman said the argument between the two led to one of the suspects inviting others arrested to jointly beat the deceased to coma.
The statement further noted that the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kenneth Ebrimson had ordered the transfer of the suspects to homicide section for investigation while the corpse of the deceased had been deposited at Ifo General Hospital’s mortuary for autopsy.
