33-year-old Segun Ogunlusi, pictured below, has
been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command
for allegedly killing his 60-year-old mother,
Abimbola Ogunlusi, and later burying her in a
soakaway.

          Punch reports that the incident occurred on
Tuesday, December 13, 2016, on Oketunde Street,
Molatori, Ogijo, in the Sagamu Local Government
Area of the state.
The suspect was arrested following a report from
his younger sister, Yetunde Ogunlusi.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola
Oyeyemi, said Yetunde had reported to the police
that she left their mother at home when she was
going to work on Tuesday, December 13,
2016.
But when she got back home at about 7.15pm, she
could not find her mother. Oyeyemi said,
“She further stated that when she inquired from her
elder brother, Segun, who was at home with their
mother, the explanation given by her brother was
not satisfactory enough.
“Based on her report, the Divisional Police Officer,
Ogijo Division, Ahmed Tijani, led a team of
policemen to the house situated on Oketunde Street,
Molatori, Ogijo, and the suspect was promptly
arrested.”
Oyeyemi said during investigation, the police
discovered that the Segun stabbed his mother to
death and hurriedly buried her in a soakaway very
close to the house.
“The reason for his action is still under
investigation,” Oyeyemi added.
The PPRO said the state Commissioner of Police,
Ahmed Iliyasu, had directed that the case be
transferred to the homicide section of the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department,
Eleweran , Abeokuta.
