Confirming the incident, Ogun State Police Command spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, stated that the Imam reported the case at the Olodo Police Outstation at approximately 6:30 p.m. on February 22, 2025.
Upon receiving the report, police officers visited the crime scene, took photographs, and moved the body to the **General Hospital, Odeda**, for medical examination.

Following this revelation, Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, has ordered a full-scale investigation to track down those responsible for the murder.
