The Ondo State Police Command on Monday said it had arrested two persons in connection with the death of a man, Ajayi Ajisegiri, in the Irese Community, the Ifedore Local Government Area of the state.
The suspect’s landlady, Mrs Beatrice Ademeti, said the deceased came to her house a day before the incident, telling the suspect to return what he took from his house or he would report him to the community. She said the suspect, who had spent only six months in the community, claimed to be an herbalist.
Ademeti said, “The suspect cannot say he is not responsible for Ajisegiri’s death because, on the night of the incident, I overheard the deceased shouting at the suspect, saying he gave him a day to return the community’s property he took in his room or else he would report the case to the whole town the next day.
“The suspect later came back at night to give Baba three sachets of alcoholic drink which made the deceased sleep off.” The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, who confirmed the incident, said an investigation had begun into the matter.All rights reserved.
