AUGUST 19, 2015 : FEMI MAKINDE AND OLALEYE
ALUKO


The police in Osun State have arrested a former Senior Special Assistant to Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State, Mr. Bode Olugbore, after a 29-year-old woman, Kemi Arobieke, was allegedly found dead in his apartment.


PUNCH Metro learnt that Kemi, who the family
claimed was Olugbore’s lover, was found dead in
the ex-SSA’s apartment on Saturday, August 8.
Our correspondents gathered that Kemi, an event planner, came from Lagos to visit Olugbore in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Thursday, August 6, and promised to return on Saturday.


It was learnt that Kemi’s family, however, got a
call on Sunday that the lady had been
electrocuted in the ex-SSA’s apartment, and her
corpse had been deposited in a mortuary.
It was gathered that the matter was reported at
the Dada Police Division, and policemen from the station removed the corpse from the apartment.


It was learnt that the ex-SSA was arrested
thereafter.
The deceased’s elder brother, Ayoola, who
confirmed the death of his sister to our
correspondents on the telephone on Tuesday
said Kemi had known Olugbore for about four
years, but the family initially did not know about
their relationship.


He said he, Kemi and Olugbore were members of
the same church in Lagos, adding that her sister
told the family that the suspect had separated
from his wife, who had three children for him.
He said, “My sister travelled to Osogbo and she
was supposed to return to Lagos on Saturday, but we got a call from the police that she was involved in an accident and it was very serious.
“When we got to Osogbo, the police prevented us from seeing her, but told us that she had been electrocuted by an electric fan, but it is
unbelievable.”


Ayoola, said the explanation sounded illogical as
there were no traces of burn either on her body
or on the fan.
He said, “However, we are waiting for the
outcome of the autopsy which was done on
Saturday. We have known Bode (Olugbore) for a
while. He works with the Osun State Government.
Kemi was also gainfully employed, having finished from the university.

“We were made to understand that she was
electrocuted in the apartment by a standing fan.
That is very hard for me to understand. The police showed us the fan, and it seemed to be working fine. It was not burnt. The socket was not burnt.

So, it is suspicious that she was electrocuted. The
current in a fan is not enough to kill except one
has direct contact with a live wire. The marks on
her body suggested something contrary.

“Right now, everyone is waiting for answers from
the autopsy. We know that the man has been
arrested by the police.”
Our correspondents gathered that Olugbore’s
lawyer’s said the ex-SSA was not in his apartment at the time of the incident, adding that Kemi’s death was a domestic accident.
When our correspondent called the ex-SSA’s
phone number, the calls did not connect.
The Arobieke’s family lawyer, identified only as
Olayiwola, told our correspondents that the result of the autopsy was with the police, adding that both families would be invited by the police.


The Osun State Police Public Relations Officer,
DSP Folashade Odoro, confirmed the arrest. She
added that investigation was ongoing on the
matter.
She said, “I don’t know about who is involved, but the suspect has been arrested by the police.
Investigation is also ongoing on the matter. When
things like this happen, the first suspect is the
owner of the apartment. So, he was arrested
immediately.”

The governor’s media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon,
when contacted declined to comment on the
matter.

He said, “It is a police matter. You can get
accurate information about whatever happened
from the police.”
