23YR OLD MAN KILLS HIS 60YR OLD AUNT OVER SUSPICION SHE WAS A WITCH

 

A 23yr old man Dansu Asogba was on Friday 11th of September 2020 arrested for allegedly killing his 60 yr old aunty Iyabo Dansu on the 22nd of August 2020.

The suspect was arrested following a report by two children of the deceased who reported at ipokia divisional headquarters that, they received an information on the 22nd of August 2020 about the demise of their mother who is not known to be suffering from any illness. 

They stated further that since they were not suspecting any foul play, they decided to bury her without necessarily reporting to the police. 

But immediately after the burial, they heard an information that the suspect who is a nephew to the deceased was seen in her house on that fateful day, and shortly after he left, the woman was declared dead. 

This arouse the suspicion of the people of the community and they threatened to carry out a traditional ritual which will expose the killer.

On hearing about the intention of the community to go spiritual about the deceased death, the suspect Dansu Asogba came out and confessed been the one responsible for the woman's death.

Upon his confession, the DPO Ipokia division SP Adebayo Hakeem detailed his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.

On interogation, he admitted killing the deceased but claimed that he did so because of his believe that the deceased was responsible for the death of his first child and the subsequent miscarriage suffered by his wife. 

He confessed further that it was an iron rod he used to hit the woman on the neck which resulted to her death.

Meanwhile, the commissioner of police CP Edward Awolowo Ajogun has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to homicide section of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and prosecution. 

The CP who  expressed concern over the ignorance and primitive belief of some people therefore warned that anybody who for any reason takes law into his or her own hands will have him or herself to blame as the command will not tolerate such behaviour . 

He therefore appealed to members of public to always report any form of  greviance to law enforcement agencies who will properly investigate such complaint
