The Lagos State Police Command announced that it has detained Samuel Adeniyi, who is accused of killing his girlfriend in an unnamed location of Lagos by hitting her in the head with a sledgehammer.
This information was provided to the media on Thursday at a press conference held at the Police Officers Mess in Ikeja, Lagos, by state commissioner of police Idowu Owohunwa.
According to Owohunwa, the suspect’s justification for killing the unnamed lover was that he was worried she could leave him for someone else.
The CP stated that one Samuel Adeniyi killed his girlfriend by smashing her head in as the suspects were being paraded in Lagos.
He (Adeniyi) said he suspected that the girl may leave him and perhaps for just that reason, he killed her and ran away. We have succeeded in arresting him and recovering the sledgehammer that he used and we will bring him to justice.”

Parading other suspected criminals in Lagos, the CP disclosed that within one month of launching Operation Flush, the police had recorded successes by raiding criminal hideouts and arresting suspected cultists and armed traffic robbers among others.
He said, “It’s exactly a month that we launched Operation Flush which was designed to reclaim the public space from criminal elements that emerged at some point to threaten the internal security order in Lagos State.
“Within the past two weeks, we recovered 18 firearms including two AK 47 rifles, one locally fabricated and one very unique gun. It is a form of weapon that has never been found in the armoury of criminals in this country, it was also recovered.
“Two locally fabricated toy guns that were used to perfect robbery were also recovered. Fifteen cartridges, four expended cartridges, six matches, 34 bags of weeds suspected to be Indian hemp, and two bags containing fake US dollars and Pounds Sterling notes were recovered as well.”
Owohunwa noted that six kegs of fake Total engine oil were also recovered in another operation saying, “This again points to the fact that there is a syndicate adulterating engine oil within Lagos. That syndicate has also been cracked.”
He added that the command arrested suspects linked to the killing of a policeman in the Ikeja area of Lagos.
