Ogun state Police Command has arrested a native doctor, Idowu Talabi for killing his 30 years old co-tenant, Isau Oluwatobiloba.
In a statement by the State Public Relations Officer, Mr Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect was arrested following a report lodged at Ikenne divisional headquarters by the wife of the deceased, who reported that she returned from Church vigil at about 6:00 am only to discover the lifeless body of her husband lying in the pool of his own blood, macheted to death by an unknown person.
Mr Oyeyemi maintained that upon the report, the DPO Ikenne division, Mr Ibrahim Ningi, led his detectives to the scene, where it was discovered that the deceased was macheted to death while sleeping on his bed.
He noted that, there was no break-in at the scene and nothing was removed from the room.
He said the discovery pointed to the fact that the killing was carried out by an insider, hence all the occupants of the house were invited to the station for interrogation.
Mr Oyeyemi said after a thorough investigation, Idowu Talabi, who claimed to be a native doctor confessed, been the person who killed the deceased.
He said when asked the reason for the dastardly act, the suspect alleged that the deceased was fond of accusing him of stealing, and that was what infuriated him to matchet him to death when he discovered that the deceased was alone at home sleeping.
The cutlass he used to commit the crime had been recovered.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Lanre Bankole, had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Homicide section of the state Criminal Investigation Departments for further investigation and prosecution.
