Police arrest man over neighbour’s death in Ogun

In Ogun State, Nigeria, a 43-year-old man, Edebiri Temitope, has been apprehended in relation to the fatal beating of his 38-year-old neighbour, Oje Michael Eje, in Mowe. The incident occurred after a confrontation involving Eje's three-year-old child, whom the suspect allegedly engaged in rough play with, prompting the child's father to strike Eje with a bamboo stick until he died.

Temitope, a university graduate specializing in Guidance and Counselling, was initially reported to be on the run but has since been apprehended and transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Abeokuta for further inquiry.
