The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a man, Gandonu Lowe, for allegedly attempting to flee his community with the corpse of his wife concealed in a sack tied to a motorcycle.
Lowe, a resident of Omolende Village in Yewa South LGA, was intercepted on Wednesday after the Divisional Police Officer of Ilaro received intelligence about his suspicious movement.
Police spokesperson CSP Omolola Odutola said officers stopped the suspect and discovered an adult female’s body, later confirmed to be his wife inside the sack.
The corpse reportedly had marks of violence and bleeding around the neck. A blood-stained cutlass was also recovered.
Lowe was immediately taken into custody, while the woman’s body was deposited at the State Morgue in Ilaro for autopsy.
Commissioner of Police Lanre Ogunlowo commended the anonymous informant whose alert led to the arrest, urging residents to continue providing timely information to help avert crime.
