In Mowe, Ogun State, the Ogun State Police Command has apprehended a 43-year-old man named Edebiri Temitope, who is suspected of fatally assaulting his 38-year-old neighbor, Oje Michael Eje. The incident transpired over an altercation involving the suspect's three-year-old child, during which Eje, a university graduate, was allegedly engaging in what the child's father deemed "rough play" by hugging and playing with the child.
The enraged father, wielding a bamboo stick, allegedly beat Eje to death in retaliation. The suspect, who was previously reported to be on the run, has now been apprehended and is currently being held at the State Criminal Investigation Department in Abeokuta for further investigation.
