Edo State
Police Command has arrested a 73-year-old man, Williams Uwadia, for allegedly
using a kitchen knife to stab 27-year old Gabriel Aigbosuria to death.
The
suspect, according to a police source, was arrested at the scene of crime
shortly after the alleged murder, in Benin.
The
source, who craved anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the
matter, said the suspect had a disagreement with the deceased earlier in the
day, following which he went to the nearest police division to effect his
arrest.
The source
said, “The police followed him for the arrest, but unknown to them, that he had
a kitchen knife with him, as the policemen were trying to mediate in the
matter, the suspect suddenly brought out a knife and snuffed life out of the
27-year-old man.”
The state assistant Police Public Relations Officer of the
command, Ejiroro Ahwara, confirmed the arrest, saying the state police homicide
section was already investigating the murder.
