The Ogun State Police Command has arrested at least five individuals in connection with the murder of a fisherman named Segun Sikiru in Iwopin, located in the Ijebu-Ode Local Government Area.

It was gathered that the suspects allegedly k!lled the victim with a bamboo stick and dumped his body in a lagoon in the community.

The five suspects—Saheed Mureni, Afeez Mureni, Saheed Taidi, Thompson Samuel, and Ogoji Olorunwa—were arrested by operatives of the Abigi Police Division on Sunday, September 29, 2024.

SP Omolola Odutola confirmed the incident, stating that the suspects were apprehended following a report from the deceased’s family.

The deceased and his two sons went fishing when they noticed suspicious activity at their fish trap, known as Iki.

As they approached for a closer look, they spotted the suspects stealing from Sikiru’s trap.

Upon seeing the deceased and his son, the suspects allegedly attacked the deceased with a bamboo stick, striking him in the chest while the two sons managed to escape the assault.

“When the deceased spotted them at his fish trap, he tried to raise the alarm and draw the attention of people in the area to what was happening. However, the suspects allegedly attacked him, striking him in the chest with a bamboo stick. Once they realised he had lost consciousness, they reportedly threw him into the lagoon.

“The body has been recovered and taken to a mortuary in Ijebu-Ode. The five suspects involved in the incident have been arrested, and an investigation is underway.”
