Ondo Man Arrested For Allegedly K!lling His Friend

The Ondo State Police Command announced on Monday that it has detained Adebayo Peter, the man accused of killing his friend Lekan in Akure, the state capital of Ondo State.

The incident reportedly happened on Friday night in the state capital of Akure, in the Ireakari-Oloko neighborhood.

Upon being reached, Mrs. Funmilayo Odunlami, the Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the incident and declared that the case had been forwarded to the State Criminal Investigation Department.

“The matter has been transferred to the state CID for further investigation. But I can’t confirm if the suspect acted under the influence of drug,” the PPRO stated.

The deceased and the suspect were friends, according to a source who spoke under anonymity, albeit it remained unclear why the suspect carried out the heinous deed.

But the witness claimed that just before he killed his friend, the suspect had taken something called ice, which is a crystal form of drugs based on amphetamines.

The source said: “We still don’t know why he killed his friend. When we asked him, he was saying unintelligible things. Both of them are from Ede town in Osun State.

“It was the shouts of one of their friends, who hails from Delta State, that attracted our attention to the incident. When we got into the room, we found Lekan in a pool of blood. He was still breathing. But shortly after, he died. We had to invite the police.

“Their Delta friend said Lekan was with him outside and that the victim later went into the room to help him bring his phone charger. He said after waiting for about 15 minutes and Lekan didn’t come out, he had to go and check what had happened to him.

“According to him, he was prevented from entering the room by Adebayo, who said Lekan had gone out. But his pair of slippers was at the entrance. The boy had to go and peep through the window to know what happened. It was then he saw Lekan lying on the floor covered with blood.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
