Operatives of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, have arrested a 63-year-old panel beater, Taiwo Ojo, for killing, burning, and burying the corpse of his colleague, Philip Kura, in a shallow grave in the Bwari area.
It was gathered that Ojo committed culpable homicide against his colleague after an argument over money on 23 December, an intelligence source privy to the homicide revealed.
The source said: “Ojo and Kura had a disagreement at his workshop on December 23. Ojo hit the victim with a shovel and he fell and died.
“He drew his corpse into banana trees shed close by where he later burnt and buried the victim’s remains in a shallow grave.”
This incident is coming as a rude shock to the family members of the man whose life was cut short, barely 48hours to the celebration of Christmas.
