The police in Ogun State have arrested three brothers
killing a security guard.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Police Public Relations
Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspects beat up a So-Safe
corps officer who was on guard duty at OGD Estate Asero to death on
Christmas eve.
According to the police spokesman, the suspects are: Okiki
Mulero, Micheal Mulero and Joseph Mulero.
It was gathered that trouble started when one of the suspects,
Okiki who is a commercial cyclist was denied entrance into the
estate for carrying more than one passenger contrary to the rule of
the estate.
“This infuriated him, and he called his two brothers, Micheal
and Joseph Mulero who came to the scene and they jointly attacked
the two security guards with planks,” the statement partly
read.

He said the security guard was subsequently rushed to a private
hospital where he gave up the ghost on Friday while receiving
treatment.
The police spokesman explained that the case was reported at
Obantoko Divisional Headquarters by the Community Development
Association of the estate, consequent upon which the Divisional
Police Officer, Sunday Opebiyi, asked his detectives to go after
the suspects and they were subsequently apprehended one after the
other.
Oyeyemi noted that the suspects “have all confessed to the
commission of the crime.”
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, has
ordered the immediate transfers of the case to the Homicide Section
of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for
further investigation and prosecution.
This is just as the corpse of the victim has been deposited in
the mortuary for post-mortem examination.
