Why did Kabiru Ogunlana of 13, Popoola Street, Mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos State kill his girlfriend, Isima Ajayi of 12, Olalubi Street, Mafoluku, Oshodi, and then stab himself in the stomach, ostensibly with the intention of killing himself?
This is the big question homicide detectives of the Lagos State Police Command will be seeking answers to when Ogunlana, who is at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, recovers enough for questioning.
The spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command, Samuel Jinadu, said that the police will be keeping a close watch on Ogunlana to ensure he does not terminate his life.
Jinadu said: “He has been admitted at the Lagos State Teaching Hospital, Ikeja for treatment. The corpse of the deceased was deposited at Isolo General Hospital Mortuary for autopsy. The case is undergoing investigation at the State Criminal Investigations Department, Panti, Yaba.”
In another development, Baba Abba of 18, Osho Street, Opebi, Ikeja, has been shot to death by unidentified gunmen at Agidingbi, Ikeja.
Jinadu said the victim was certified dead at Lagoon Hospital, Ikeja.
The corpse had been removed and deposited at a public mortuary for autopsy, he said.
The case is being investigated by the SCID.
