The Ondo State Police Command on Thursday, paraded a houseboy, one Emmanuel Akpan and his accomplice, Goodness Ekpe for machining his madam, Mrs Febisola Adebayo to death.
Mr Bolaji Salami, Ondo State Commissioner of Police made this known while parading the suspects alongside 25 others before newsmen in Akure.
He explained that on March 29, 2021, at about 2300 hours at Ifokonbale Stree, Ondo Town, Emmanuel Akpan, a houseboy killed his madam, late Mrs Febisola Caroline Adedayo, a food canteen operator in Ondo town with a machete while the woman was sleeping.
The CP added that the houseboy received an information from a certain Goodness Ekpe, his town boy who also works at Ondo town that the late madam had a lot of money and this was why he carried out the dastardly act.
The report said that “Akpan carted away the sum of N3,500, 2 phones, some jewellery and a generator from the house before he absconded.”
The police commissioner added that Akpan and Ekpe were arrested at a village in Ogun State and investigations are ongoing. Both suspects would eventually be charged to court.
“Last month, we paraded some criminals who were involved in various kinds of crimes, some of whom are cooling their heels in some correctional centres across the state today.
“Though advertising our exploits has never been my style of policing, it sometimes looks inevitable to do so, with the hope that criminals would stay away from crimes.
“Within the period under review, my officers and men have maintained high sense of professional competence and this has brought about arrests and parade of suspects,” the Commissioner added.
