The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a suspect named Ibrahim Salisu for allegedly murdering his brother, Malaimi Yellow, over an alleged sexual demand.
According to the state command, the event occurred at 11:00 p.m. on Friday in the Araromi Street, Sango-Ota neighborhood.
The cops told our correspondent that the 54-year-old had been nagging his younger brother for sex.
According to the authorities, the younger brother drew a machete to terminate Yellow’s life in response to his constant requests.
The spokesperson for the command, Odutola Omolola, told PUNCH Metro in an exclusive interview on Sunday that the corpse of Yellow had been recovered and deposited at the Ifo General Hospital Mortuary for autopsy.
“He has confessed to the crime. He told our men, who arrested him, that he killed his brother because he kept disturbing him for sex. His case will soon be transferred once the preliminary investigation is completed,” Odutola said.
According to crime statistics for December 2023, exclusively made available to our correspondent on Sunday, before this current incident, the state had recorded about 18 murder cases and an additional eight sexual-related offenses across the state in the month alone.
Consequently, the police said they were working round-the-clock with other local security agencies to stem the tide of crimes in the state.
