On interrogation, the suspect who was just released from prison custody last month, confessed killing the deceased.

According to him, he picked the deceased from Panseke and took her home for sexual pleasure.

After having carnal knowledge of the victim, the victim demanded for the N10,000 which was their agreement, but that he refused to give her because he had only N8,000 with him.

He said this led to hot argument between them, and that he then gave his phone to the deceased to hold and wait for him by the road side to get some money.

While the deceased was waiting, the suspect came back with a knife unknown to the victim and stabbed her deeply on her neck resulting in her instant death.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Edward Awolowo Ajogun has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for discreet investigation.
