The Ogun State Police Command have arrested one Musiliu Owolabi for allegedly burying his woman friend, Fausat Idowu.
The Ogun State Police Commissioner said Musiliu secretly buried his woman friend in a shallow grave in an uncompleted building in Osara village off Abeokuta-Ibadan Expressway.
The suspect was said to have taken the deceased, a mother of five, to hotel for pleasure when she suddenly fell ill and eventually died.
Iliyasu said the suspect was arrested following a report to the police by the younger brother of the deceased, Hammed Idowu, that his sister who went for a naming ceremony at Bode Olude area of Abeokuta, was nowhere to be found.
The CP said that following the report, detectives at the Homicide Section, were directed to investigate the matter.
He added that the deceased’s telephone call log was profiled through technical and intelligence investigation and the suspect was the last person that spoke with her.
Iliyasu said: “On interrogation, the suspect admitted taking the deceased to Rocky Gold Hotel at Iyana-Apakila, Abeokuta for pleasure, where he claimed she fell ill and later took her in his vehicle, but died under a mysterious circumstance in the car.
“He further confessed that he took the corpse to a nearby bush, dug a shallow grave and buried it without disclosing same to anybody. This made the circumstances of her death mysterious as well as questionable, which is condemnable. The suspect will soon be arraigned before a court of competent jurisdictionâ€.
The suspect confessed to the crime while speaking with newsmen, saying that the deceased had been her lover for six months.
