Saburi Lateef, a 49-year-old transporter, has confessed to strangling and mutilating retired civil servant Mrs Adedotun Oluwaseun at her home in Bode Olude, Abeokuta, Ogun State, according to the source at the Homicide Section of the Ogun State Police Command. The suspect, also known as Alhaji Oki Osan, was arrested more than ten months after the murder on the directive of the Inspector-General of Police.
Lateef allegedly entered the woman's apartment through a window while she was attending a friend's retirement party and discovered her body in the toilet closet after strangling her. He claimed the killing was motivated by a financial disagreement, alleging that the deceased promised to lend him money to purchase a vehicle after he sold his broken-down truck for N3.5 million.
However, the deceased's family dismissed Lateef's account, stating that they neither knew him nor had any prior financial relationship.
