Police in Ogun State have caught a man named Alex Eziochukwu because of the death of a 16-year-old boy named Jamilu Lasisi. This happened in Ibegba, a place in Sagamu Local Government Area.
Omolola Odutola, who speaks for the Ogun State Police, said they arrested Alex thanks to a call from Jamilu’s nephew, Tobi Olarewaju.
Odutola explained, “We got a phone call from Tobi saying that his nephew Jamiu, who is 16 years old and lives in the same place, was playing football with others. During the game, Jamilu and another player argued. Jamilu fell down and didn’t wake up. They took him to Owokoniran Hospital in GRA Sagamu, but the doctor said he had died.”
After this, Alex ran away, but police searched everywhere and caught him the next day.
“On Tuesday, we sent detectives to find Alex. They looked all over the area but couldn’t find him. However, we managed to arrest him on Wednesday morning,” Odutola said.
Now, the police are trying to find out exactly how Jamilu died.
