Confirming the arrest in a press statement, the state command’s spokesperson, Chike Oti, said the suspect was arrested in Ondo by a crack team of detectives.
“The Togolese, who allegedly murdered Chief Ope Bademosi on Wednesday, Oct. 31, at his residence, No. 3A Onikoyi Lane, Parkview Estate, Ikoyi, barely three days after he was employed as a cook, was arrested today Nov. 2, at about 09.30 hrs, at Yaba Area in Ondo Town, Ondo State.
“The fleeing cook, later identified as Sunday Anani, 22 years of age, was arrested by homicide detectives attached to State Criminal Investigation And Intelligence Department (SCIID) Panti Street, Yaba, Lagos, is right now undergoing interrogation.
