Opalola stated that investigation revealed that the suspects and the victim were friends and internet fraudsters.

In her words, “Having discovered that the deceased was always making money more than them, the duo conspired and lured their friend (the deceased) to an uncompleted building in a remote part of Alaro area, Modakeke in a bid to collect money from him and in the course of struggle he was killed.

“The suspects made away with the victim’s motorcycle which was recovered from the second suspect’s house.”
