The Ondo State Police Command on Monday said it arrested a man, Adebayo Peter, who allegedly killed his friend, simply known as Lekan, in Akure, the state capital.
The incident was said to have occurred on Friday evening in the Ireakari-Oloko area of Akure, the state capital.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, confirmed the incident and said the matter had been transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department.
“The matter has been transferred to CID for further investigation. But I can’t confirm if the suspect acted under the influence of drugs,” the PPRO stated.
It was gathered that the suspect and the deceased were friends and it was not clear the reason the suspect committed the act.
However, a source who is familiar with the development said the suspect had taken a substance commonly known as ice, a crystal form of amphetamine-based drugs, shortly before killing his friend.
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.
