The police command in Osun State has said it has arrested two suspects over alleged robbery and killing of a rice dealer by beheading him.
The State Commissioner of Police, Fimihan Adeoye, made this known while parading the suspects and others at the Police Headquarters on Thursday in Osogbo.
Adeoye said the arrested suspects were contracted to kill one Isiaka Sanusi, a 43-year-old businessman, on May 14, 2018 at about 9pm along Iwo Road, Osogbo.
He said one Yekini Ayinde, also known as Abija, a principal suspect still at large, had contacted the deceased to supply him 500 bags of rice.
He said the deceased was lured into making the supply in Osogbo from Saki in Oyo State, lodged in an hotel after the goods were supplied and later taken out to be killed.
He said Ayinde contracted the arrested suspects, Dauda Amusat, known as Adasi, and Pariola Kabiru, with five others to kill the businessman after collecting the money initially paid to him for the supply.
