“The suspect came in around 6.30 a.m. and shot the deceased, who was sleeping, with a locally-made pistol.

“The DPO of Awa-Ijebu Division led his men to the scene and the suspect was promptly arrested,’’ said the police spokesman.

He said that preliminary investigation indicated that the suspect was member of a notorious armed robbery gang terrorising the area.

According to the police spokesman, the deceased had accosted the suspect on several occasions while coming from robbery operations.

“It was the fear that the deceased may expose him that prompted him to sniff life out of him.

“The suspect has, however, gave useful information to the police which will help in nabbing other members of his group,’’ Oyeyemi said.

The State Commissioner of Police, Mr Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the transfer of the suspect to the Federal Anti-Robbery Squad for further investigation.
