Ondo State Police Command’s
detectives have arrested a middle-
aged man identified as Moses
Alugo, for killing and burying his
friend, who allegedly slept with his
wife.

Police source said that some
neighbours of the deceased told the
man that his wife was usually seen
with his friend, suggesting they
were having an amorous affair.

The suspect was said to have
challenged his friend who
reportedly denied the allegation.

The source said the deceased left
only to return, warning his friend
of dire consequence if he failed to
let go his wife. The source added
that an argument ensued, leading
to the death of the deceased.

He was later picked up by
detectives from Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence
Department, CIID, for murder after
the matter was reported.

Burial
However, it was gathered that the
suspect, after committing the
crime, reportedly buried his friend
at Akinpelu Camp, Ode-Aye, before
the incident was reported to the
Police.

The state Police Command image
maker, Femi Joseph, said that
before detectives could get to the
scene of the crime, the killer had
buried the victim.

Joseph, who said the case had been
transferred to the state CID for
further investigation, described the
incident as unfortunate and
warned the people against taking
laws into their hands.

The suspect, according to the police
spokesman, would soon be charged
to court after detectives are
through with their preliminary
investigation.
