The Ondo State Police Command on Thursday paraded one Emmanuel Akpan, a houseboy, and his accomplice, Goodness Ekpe, for killing his madam, Febisola Caroline Adebayo.
Bolaji Salami, Commissioner of Police in Ondo State, made this known while parading the suspects along with 25 others before newsmen in Akure.
The CP explained that on March 29, 2021, at about 11pm at Ifokanbale Street, Ondo town, Akpan killed Adedayo, a food canteen operator in Ondo town, with a machete while the woman was sleeping.
According to Salami, the houseboy received information from Ekpe, his town boy, who also works in Ondo town, that the late woman had a lot of money and this was why he carried out the dastardly act.
“Akpan carted away the sum of N3,500, two phones, some jewelries and generator from the house before he absconded,” he said.
The Police Commissioner, who said Apkan and Ekpe were arrested at a village in Ogun State, explained that investigation was ongoing, after which the two suspects would be charged to court accordingly.
Salami added: “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 had never been my style of policing, it sometimes looks inevitable to do so, with the hope that criminals will 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 the suspects.”
