A middle-aged woman, Comfort Tifase and
her children, Olufumbi and Oluropo, are currently being interrogated by
officers of the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba,
Lagos, over the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband, Moses, in
Mile 2 area of the state.
Vanguard gathered that the suspects had allegedly
hacked Moses, who is based in Kano State, to death with a pair of scissors
during a fight at their Block 285, flat 6, residence, Jakande Estate Mile 2.
Sources disclosed that the incident which
occurred in the early hours of December
6, 2014, blew open when the suspect and her children attempted to quickly bury
the man.
They were said to have contacted a member of
their church with the news of their father’s death and demanded his immediate
burial, claiming he slumped and died.
The church member suspected foul and alerted
the police in Festac Police Station, where Divisional Police Officer, Ifeanyi
Owo, who led policemen to the scene, arrested the suspects and her children
while the corpse was taken to the mortuary for autopsy.
Meanwhile, Lagos State Police Command Public
Relations Officer, Mr. Ken Nwosu, who confirmed the arrest to Vanguard,
said the suspects denied killing the man, but the policemen who visited the
scene recovered a blood-stained pair of scissors in their apartment, while the
entire apartment was in disarray.
