The Ogun State Police Command has apprehended one Alex Eziochukwu for allegedly murdering a 16-year-old Jamilu Lasisi in the Ibegba area of the Sagamu Local Government Area of the state.

According to Online learnt on Wednesday that the suspect, Eziochukwu, was arrested following a tip-off received from an informant at about 4am on Wednesday.

The state command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, who confirmed Eziochukwu’s arrest, said there was an argument between him and the deceased leading to a confrontation on Tuesday.

While the fight was ongoing, our correspondent learnt that the victim fell on the football pitch before he was declared dead after he was rushed down to the hospital for medical attention.

After the death of the teenager was confirmed by a doctor, the suspect was said to have absconded, leading the police to launch a manhunt, which subsequently led to his arrest on Wednesday morning.

Odutola said, “A phone call was received from one Tobi Olarewaju that his nephew, Jamiu Lasisi, 16 years old, of the same address, was playing football in the area alongside others.

“In the process, an argument ensued between him and one of the footballers; he fell down unconscious, and he was rushed to Owokoniran Hospital, GRA Sagamu, where he was confirmed dead by a medical doctor on duty.

“Following the report on Tuesday, a team of detectives was led to the scene, searching every nook and cranny of the area with a view to arresting the suspect, but all to no avail.”

She added that the evacuation of the corpse from the hospital to the mortuary was underway.
