Envious man Kills friend who bought a car, conceals him in his house in Kogi

A yet-to-be-identified, man has been apprehended by the Kogi State Police Command for murdering his friend and burying the body in his apartment around Felele, in the Lokoja area of the state.

According to the Nigerian news Tribune, the incident took place in the Felele area of Lokoja where the deceased known as Kehinde Ajayi, is based with his family.

Information has it that the deceased who bought a Toyota Sienna ash color with registration number LSD 228 HJ, was murdered on July 24, 2022.

The apprehended murderer, an Air condition repairer, allured late Kehinde to an unknown location at about 10 am on that fateful day to commemorate the new car he had just purchased.

A source has it that the deceased, the suspect, and others went to the place but Kehinde was never seen alive again.

However, after Kehinde was reported missing to the Police by his family members, the alleged murderer was apprehended last week and he confessed to having murdered the deceased and stolen his car.

The suspect took policemen to his house where he buried the body of Kehinde on Monday, August 29.

It was later gathered that outraged youths who were present when police discovered the body attacked the suspect’s house.

According to SP William Ayah the spokesman of the command, who confirmed the incident, he said that Kehinde’s remains have been retrieved and an investigation is currently ongoing to catch anyone else who might have been involved in the murder.
