Ifeoma Ossai, a 33-year-old single lady, has been arrested for the murder of her 50-year-old landlord, Monday Surulere Oladele, over a minor disagreement over the electricity bill.

Ossai, who was said to be enraged during the argument, allegedly thrust both hands into her landlord’s private part and grabbed the manhood, pulling him unconscious to the ground.

The landlord was immediately rushed to the State General Hospital Ota, according to Ogun Police spokesman Abimbola Oyeyemi, but a doctor on duty confirmed his death.

According to Oyeyemi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (SP), the suspect was apprehended after one Olaleye Taiwo reported the incident to the Sango Ota divisional police headquarters.

The police spokesman added the Divisional Police Officer( DPO) Sango Ota division, CSP Saleh Dahiru, despatched detectives to the scene who took her into custody for investigation.

“On interrogation, the suspect claimed that the deceased asked her to pay for the electricity bill but she insisted that until water is directly connected to her apartment as promised by the landlord before she packed in she will not pay the electricity or any other utility bill.

“This led to a scuffle between them consequent upon which the suspect grabbed the manhood of the deceased and dragged him with it.

“The deceased subsequently slumped, and he was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead by a doctor on duty.

The corpse has been deposited at the hospital mortuary for postmortem examination,” Oyeyemi stated.
