A 38-year-old university graduate, Mike Oje, has been reportedly beaten to death by his neighbour in Mowe, Ogun State, following a dispute over a toddler.The victim, who held a degree in Guidance and Counselling, was allegedly playing with and hugging his neighbour’s three-year-old child when the child’s father intervened. Infuriated by what he described as rough play, the father grabbed a bamboo stick and repeatedly struck Oje until he collapsed and died.
The Ogun State Police Command has now arrested the fleeing suspect, 43-year-old Edebiri Temitope, who was previously reported to be at large, in connection with the murder of Oje Michael Eje. Following his apprehension, the suspect has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further investigation and prosecution.
