Police said it recorded a significant breakthrough in the investigation of the homicide case reported at Oko-Oba Division in the Ojokoro area of Lagos.

Spokesperson of the Command, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed this on Sunday in a post on his verified X handle.

He recalled that the Command received the report of the killing of an unidentified man at a service apartment in the Abule Egba area on 29th March 2025.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that on 27th March 2025, at about 5:20 p.m., an unidentified female, in the company of the deceased, rented a service apartment.

“A few hours later, the woman left the premises in possession of the deceased’s car and other personal valuables, informing the housekeeper that she would return shortly.

“However, during a routine check on 28th March 2025, the lifeless body of the male victim was discovered within the apartment. At the scene, investigators recovered an empty syringe, two empty cans of malt drink, and two bottles of water.

“The body was subsequently evacuated and deposited at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) mortuary for autopsy, while intensive efforts commenced to locate the fleeing suspect,” he stated.

Hundeyin added that following a painstaking investigation by operatives of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), the suspect was apprehended at about 9:30pm on 26th April 2025, at Oko-Oba.

“The suspect identified herself as one Adeola Adewale who confessed to administering a malt drink laced with a poisonous substance to the deceased, which ultimately led to his death,” Hundeyin said.

He added further that the suspect is currently in custody as investigations continue to unravel further details surrounding the incident, pledging to give updates on the case in due course.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Jimoh has therefore reiterated the commitment of the Command to ensuring the safety and security of all residents of the state.

The Command also assured that individuals engaging in criminal activities will be identified, arrested, diligently pursued and brought to justice.
