The DPO of Idiroko division, CSP Shadrach Oriloye, had quickly led his men to the scene and has arrested the suspect.
The deceased has been deposited at the mortuary for autopsy, Oyeyemi informed that the Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the homicide section of the state CIID for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
