Dolapo Badmus, Spokesperson for Lagos State Police Command, who confirmed the incident, revealed that the Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, had ordered that the case be transferred to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, for unobtrusive investigation.
