one Mamodu Ibrahim, for allegedly killing a
two-year-old boy.
Police spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, on
Thursday said Ibrahim was arrested on April
12 in the Mowe area of the state at about
9.30pm.
He added, "The suspect, who had earlier raped
the mother of the deceased, fled the scene
immediately he killed the boy and cut off his
head.
"The police operatives deployed to the area
placed him under surveillance with the help
of the members of the community before he
was arrested where he was hiding."
Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police,
said the suspect had confessed to the crime
and was assisting the police in their
investigation.
He said, "The State Criminal Investigation
Department is in charge of the matter and all
hands are on deck to recover the head of the
boy from where it was allegedly sold.
The Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna
Okoye, sympathises with the family of the
boy and the people of the area; and vows to
tackle crimes and criminality in the area and
Ogun State in general."
Adejobi said those found culpable in the
"barbaric act" would be charged to court.
