The News Agency of Nigeria reports that OgoOluwa was allegedly killed by a scavenger on Friday in Okitipupa.
Confirming the incident on Monday, the command’s spokesman, Olayinka Ayanlade, said that the suspect had been arrested and the case transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Akure.
Ayanlade said, “I can confirm to you that the suspect is in our custody in the SCID in Akure for further investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of Omoge.
“The suspect will definitely face the law and justice will prevail in the case.”
The incident, which happened on the Ayeka/Igbokoda Expressway in Okitipupa, Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State, has left residents in shock and disbelief.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of Okitipupa LGA, Mr Andrew Ogunsakin, said he had engaged in discussions with local leaders, representatives of the Hausa/Fulani community, traditional rulers and youths to foster peaceful coexistence.
