The Ogun State Police Command has stated that a couple, Mba Moses and Florence Moses, allegedly killed Mark Kalu after he sustained injuries from a fight between them.
This information was disclosed in a statement signed by the command’s spokesperson, SP Omolola Odutola, and provided to newsmen in Abeokuta on Saturday.
Odutola explained that the Divisional Police Officer in the Odeda area of the state received a report of the 45-year-old man’s death at 7:00 am on Saturday
The spokesperson stated that the deceased suffered injuries in a fight that took place on October 8, 2023, at Osiele Market.
“The altercation took place in the market square between the late Mark Kalu and a couple, Mba Moses, aged 50, and his wife, Florence, aged 40, leading to the death of Kalu,” he said.
“Efforts were initially made by the Babaloja of Osiele and the Igbo Community Leader to mediate and find an amicable resolution but these failed.
“However, the suspects have now been taken into custody for a preliminary investigation into the matter,” she said
She clarified that the deceased’s body had been placed at the mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre, Idi Aba, for an autopsy.
Kanyi Daily recalls that former permanent secretary in Ogun State, Adefemi Egbeoluwa, and his wife, Oluwafunmilayo, had been killed in Lagos State.
