While addressing the newsmen, the CP noted that investigations revealed that late Ofando, aged 30, had borrowed the suspect the sum of two thousand Naira, which, when demanded a few days later, led to an argument during which the suspect stabbed the victim with scissors on his neck and the victim died from injury sustained.
Also among the 12 suspects is a 16-year old secondary school student, Precious Kolawole, who allegedly involved in the killing of a popular Akure based Caterer, Mrs. Adeniyi Iyabode, at her residence along Oda Road in Akure.
Oladipo noted that investigations had earlier led to the arrest of Precious’ accomplice, one 17 year old Philip Emmanuel, who in a voluntary statement, expressed their individual degrees of involvement in the dastardly act.
“The first Suspect, Precious Kolawole, claimed to have heard Mrs. Adeniyi talking about receiving a substantial amount of money through her bank account and, on the heels of this, recruited Philip Emmanuel, the second suspect, to jointly murder the victim gruesomely.
“Clinical investigation revealed knife wounds inflicted by Philip Emmanuel and machete cuts by Precious Kolawole, resulting in the death of the victim,” the CP said.
