Men of Kogi State Police Command have arrested a certain man for killing his friend, Kehinde Ajayi, and burying the body in his house in Lokoja.
Newsmen reported that the incident happened in the Felele area of Lokoja where Ajayi lived with his family.
The deceased bought an ash-coloured Toyota Sienna with registration number LSD 228 HJ.
The arrested killer, only identified as an Air Condition Repairer, lured late Ajayi to an unknown place at about 10 am on July 24, 2022, to celebrate his new car acquisition.
Late Ajayi, the suspect, and others had gone to the place but the former was never seen alive again, a source noted.
Thereafter, family members declared Ajayi missing and reported to the police which led to the suspect’s arrest.
It was gathered that the suspect confessed days after his arrest to having killed the deceased and stolen his car.
On August 29, the suspect took policemen to his house where he buried the body of Ajayi.
However, the spokesperson of the Command, SP William Ayah, who confirmed the incident, noted that Ajayi’s remains have been recovered, and that investigation is still on to uproot other conspirators
