A 33-year-old single mother, Ifeoma Ossai has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for killing her 50-year-old landlord, Monday Surulere Oladele, over a minor disagreement.

A statement issued on Tuesday by the Spokesman of the command, Abimbola Oyeyemi said the 33-year-old single mother was arrested on Saturday 11th of March 2023.

Oyeyemi said the arrest of the suspect followed a report lodged at Sango Ota Divisional Headquarters by one Olaleye Taiwo, who reported that his brother, Monday Oladele had a disagreement with his tenant over the payment of the electricity bill.

According to the brother, in the process of the disagreement, the said tenant grabbed the manhood of the deceased and dragged him with it.

“Consequently, the landlord fell unconsciously on the ground and he was rushed to General Hospital, Ota where the doctor on duty confirmed him dead,” the statement reads.

“Upon the report, the DPO Sango ota division, CSP Saleh Dahiru, quickly led his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested and taken to custody for investigation.

“On interrogation, the suspect claimed that the deceased asked her to pay for the electricity bill, but she insisted that until water is directly connected to her apartment as promised by the landlord before she packed in she will not pay the electricity or any other utility bill.

“This led to a scuffle between them consequence upon which the suspect grabbed the manhood of the deceased and dragged him with it.

“The deceased subsequently slumped, and he was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead by the Doctor on duty. The corpse has been deposited at the hospital mortuary for postmortem examination.

“Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Frank Mba, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Homicide section of the State criminal investigation department for further investigation and diligent prosecution.”
