The Lagos State Police Command has paraded six suspects
linked with the death of David Sunday, the sound engineer, allegedly lynched by
suspected motorcyclists in the Lekki area of the state.
The state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, said the
suspects killed Sunday who was called to mediate in a crisis.
He said, “On May 12, 2022, around 6.30pm, at Studio 24,
Lekki, Lagos, an Okada rider by the name Dahiru, had a quarrel with his
passengers, Frank Olatunji and Philip Balogun, over the bike fare.
“In the heat of the argument, Frank Olatunji and Philip
Balogun invited one David Sunday to mediate only for Dahiru and his cohorts to
violently attack him, kill him, and set him ablaze.
“A total of six suspects, Dahiru Ayuba, Susan Moses,
Christopher Dauda, Joseph Tella, Chigozie Anthony, and Sunday Azi, have been
arrested. Suspects will be charged to court after the investigation.”
Meanwhile, an ongoing supremacy clash between suspected cult
members has claimed the lives of four persons in the Ketu and Mile 12 areas of
Lagos State.
During a parade of suspects arrested in connection to a
series of crimes in the state, on Friday, the CP said the deceased, Ayo Dada,
Adesegun Adesanya, aka Ologodudu, and three others were killed during reprisal
attacks by rival cult members.
Alabi said one of the suspects, Sunday Tomoloju, linked to
the death of one of Adesanya, was trailed to his hideout where he was arrested.
He noted that during interrogation, Tomoloju confessed to
killing Adesanya, adding that he would be charged for the crime.
Alabi said, “On February 20, 2022, one Ayo Dada, now
deceased and two others who were cult members were killed by some suspected
rival cult members at Ketu, Mile 12, Lagos.
“On February 21, 2022, one Sunday Tomoloju and other members
of his cult group went on a reprisal mission to avenge their late members and
killed one Adesegun Adesanya, aka Ologodudu.
“Upon receipt of this information, detectives tracked down
the principal suspect, Sunday Tomoloju to his remote stronghold where he was
apprehended. During the investigation, the suspect made a confessional
statement to the commission of the said crime.
“Investigation is still ongoing to apprehend other fleeing
suspects in a bid to recover their operational weapons.”
