A neighbour was said to have alerted policemen from the Ipaja
division, who arrested the suspect and deposited the victim’s corpse in a
mortuary.
Nobody knew the victim’s name and
address, just as no member of her family had shown up. The source said,
“The man was driving his cab that fateful day when the lady flagged him down.
“She asked him for money, but he told her he didn’t have any money
on him. He then asked her to enter the car and follow him home. He took
her to his apartment in Baruwa
Estate and it was that night that the girl died. Investigation showed
that it was while he was making love to her that she died. It was the
following morning that somebody alerted the police.”
Our correspondent, however, learnt that the suspect, in his
confession told the police that he had picked the victim from the bus
stop and taken her home when she suddenly died.
Another source explained that the suspect had continued to plead
his innocence, saying he only helped the deceased and did not have s*x
with her. He said,
“The man did not deny taking the girl home. But he explained that while she was in his room, she started shouting that she had a headache, and before he knew what was going on, she fell down and died.“He said he was confused and didn’t know what to do. But obviously, that may not be all the truth.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.
, “We have arrested the man. As I speak with you, the matter is under investigation at the DCI, to know what actually killed the lady. The deceased’s name and address are unknown.
