Akure—Ondo State Police Command’s detectives have
arrested a middle-aged man identified as Moses Alugo,
for killing and burying his friend, who allegedly slept with
his wife.
Police source said that some neighbours of the deceased
told the man that his wife was usually seen with his
friend, suggesting they were having an amorous affair.
The suspect was said to have challenged his friend who
reportedly denied the allegation.
The source said the suspect left only to return, warning
the deceased of dire consequence if he failed to let go his
wife. The source added that an argument ensued,
leading to the death of the deceased.
He was later picked up by detectives from Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department, CIID, for
murder after the matter was reported.
Burial
However, it was gathered that the suspect, after
committing the crime, reportedly buried his friend at
Akinpelu Camp, Ode-Aye, before the incident was
reported to the Police.
The state Police Command image maker, Femi Joseph,
said that before detectives could get to the scene of the
crime, the killer had buried the victim.
Joseph, who said the case had been transferred to the
state CID for further investigation, described the incident
as unfortunate and warned the people against taking
laws into their hands.
The suspect, according to the police spokesman, would
soon be charged to court after detectives are through
with their preliminary investigation.
