The Nigeria
police in Ogun have arrested a 30-year-old panel beater, Wasiu Yusuf, for
allegedly stabbing his friend, Adeolu Olatoye, to death in Abeokuta. Another
suspect in the alleged killing of the 32-year-old graphic artist, Mukaila
Popoola, is currently on the run.
The
suspect’s wife, 26-year-old Busayo, is also in detention at the Adatan Police
Station. The victim, the suspect and his alleged accomplice lived in the same
premises before the incident.
Yusuf and
his accomplice in their residence in the Oke-Efon area of Abeokuta for
allegedly having an affair with his wife allegedly killed Adeolu. Olatoye was
said to have met his death barely two weeks after he named his newborn child.
Police
sources disclosed that during interrogation, the suspect allegedly confessed to
attacking the deceased when he visited his wife in their matrimonial home. The
suspect was said to have further claimed that the victim mistakenly stabbed
himself during a scuffle between them while attempting to escape from his room.

friend’s room on the middle floor of the two-storey building to give him an
invitation card for his mother’s 80th birthday scheduled to hold on Saturday
when the suspect allegedly attacked him with broken bottles.
