“When the woman got to the house the next day, she saw Saka drenched in his blood.
She screamed and called his friend, a pastor, on phone. It was his friend that called me when he saw him dead. I went with a friend to confirm his death and it was glaring that he was murdered.”
The suspect was eventually arrested and he has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, C I D, Panti,Yaba Lagos for further investigation.
Meanwhile, the deceased has been buried in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
