A violent confrontation between Mark Kalu, aged 45, and a couple, Mr. Mba Moses, aged 50, and his wife Florence Moses, aged 40, ended tragically with Kalu’s death.
Following the altercation that occurred on October 8, 2023, at Osiele Market, where Kalu and the couple were involved, the Ogun State Police Command has declared the couple as suspects in Kalu’s death.
SP Omolola Odutola, spokesperson for the command, disclosed this in a statement issued and circulated to journalists in Abeokuta on Saturday. He elaborated that news of the 45-year-old man’s demise reached law enforcement officers in the Odeda area of the state on Saturday at 7:00 am.
The deceased’s body has since been conveyed to the mortuary at the Federal Medical Center, Idi Aba, pending an autopsy report to determine the cause of death.
Efforts by the Igbo community leader and Babaloja of Osiele to mediate the conflict proved futile. Meanwhile, the suspects have been apprehended and are currently in custody, undergoing preliminary investigations into the matter.
