”On the night of August 20, 2024, at about 2215 hours, Ajiro Kayode admitted to sneaking into Chief Abraham Babatunde’s room and brutally assaulted him with a short, hard plank.
“He struck the deceased multiple times on the back of the head, resulting in his death. To cover up the crime, Ajiro Kayode then dragged Chief Abraham Babatunde’s lifeless body into the toilet to create the false impression that he had accidentally fallen”.
