A Nigerian man is currently in the grips of the police in Ogun State.
This man who is a 35-year-old man identified as Obinna Kalu was apprehended for shooting his co-tenant who is also identified as Adijat Balogun.
He was arrested after a report was made at Sabo/Ilupeju divisional headquarters and it was revealed that while the victim was sleeping in her room on March 14, the suspect who has always been at loggerhead with the victim sneaked into her room and shot her on the right rib.
This was confirmed in a statement released by the spokesperson of the state police command, Abimbola Oyeyemi which reads;
”Upon the report, the DPO Sabo/Ilupeju division SP Mustapha Opawoye quickly led his men to the scene where the victim was quickly rescued to state hospital Ijaye and was later referred to Federal Medical Center Abeokuta for medical attention.
Having carried out the dastardly act, the suspect quickly went into his apartment, packed all his belongings, and ran away. A massive manhunt was there and then launched for him, and with the cooperation of members of the public, he was eventually arrested on the 16th of March 2021.
On interrogation, the suspect initially denied being the person that shot the victim, but when he was asked for the rationale behind his sudden action of evacuating his belongings and running away from the house, he was unable to argue further.
The victim is currently recuperating at Federal Medical Center Abeokuta. ”
