ARREST OF SUSPECT OF MURDER
On the 20th of September, 2024, operatives of the Ondo State Police Command attached to the Odigbo Divisional Police Headquarters, acting on a complaint, swiftly responded and arrested one Monday Chukwu, a 34-year-old resident of Akintola village in the Odigbo area of the state.
A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya said, “The suspect allegedly stabbed one Kefa Ofando, aged 30, to death.
“Discrete investigation revealed that the deceased 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.
“Upon arrival at the scene, crime scene experts recovered a pair of scissors, while a medical practitioner confirmed Kefa Ofando dead.
“Investigation is ongoing, and the suspect will soon be charged to court upon conclusion.
“However, this underscores the importance of staying away from violent individuals and the need to act with restraint, especially when angry or under pressure.“
