A middle-aged man identified as Adebayo Peter took the life of his friend, known as Lekan, at the Ireakari-Oloko junction area in Akure South Local Council Area of Ondo State at the weekend.<\/p>\n
Peter allegedly committed the crime while under the influence of a hard drug suspected to be \u2018ice,\u2019 a crystalized form of amphetamine-based drugs.<\/p>\n
After committing the crime, the suspect was apprehended by operatives of the state police command, while the lifeless body of the victim has been deposited at the mortuary.<\/p>\n
The suspect and the deceased were said to have hailed from the same community as Ede in Osun State.<\/p>\n
According to sources, Peter and Lekan had engaged in an altercation before the former attacked the deceased with a gas cannon, which he smashed on his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was the shouts of one of their friends, who hails from Delta State, that attracted our attention to the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we got into the room, we found Lekan in a pool of blood. He was still breathing. But shortly after, he died. We had to invite the police.\u201d<\/p>\n
While confirming the incident, the police spokesperson in the state, Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, stated that the suspect has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, for further investigation.<\/p>\n
