The Ogun State Police Command has announced the arrest of one Jacob Monday, a labourer in a rice plantation for armed robbery and an attempted murder.
The
suspect who was arrested on the 2nd January 2018, had allegedly
attacked the supervisor of the farm situated at Alabata village in
Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, one Monday Ale Dare
when he came pay salaries of workers on December 19, 2017.
The Command's spokesman, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi stated that "the case was reported
by one of the workers by name Kamoru Akanbi who complained at Owode Egba
Division that their supervisor, Monday Ale Dare came to the farm to pay
workers salaries, but the practice was for him to inspect each worker's
portion before payment.
After inspecting Jacob's portion
and paying him, the said Jacob suddenly hit him with a club on the head
consequent upon which the man lost consciousness. Not satisfied
with that, he further matcheted his body severally until he
passed out momentarily. It was then he dispossessed him of the money
meant for the salary of other workers and bolted".
Oyeyemi also stated that "having
waited for the supervisor to come and inspect other workers portions
endlessly, the workers went to check on him at Jacob's portion where
they met the supervisor in a pool of his own blood.
The suspect was later
trailed and tracked down to Kabba in Kogi State where he was arrested
and brought down to Owode Egba Division".
The
Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu has ordered the immediate
transfer of the suspect to the Federal Special Anti Robbery Squad (FSARS)
for discrete investigation and prosecution.
