Armed Robber Kills His Roommate To Hide His Identity

The Ogun State police command have announced the arrest of a 20-year-old man, identified as Badmus Gbadamosi, for allegedly killing his 27 year old room-mate, Friday Michael.

Gbadamosi was said to have shot dead Friday last Saturday while he was asleep. .

According to the Ogun State Police Command’s spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, Gbadamosi killed the 27-year-old Michael in the Mamu area of Ogun State after the late Michael saw his friend two different times while on robbery operations with his gang members. .

He said;

“Gbadamosi is a member of a notorious gang terrorising the residents of Mamu and its environs. Michael saw him with his gang members while they were robbing some people in the area. 

“After the second time, Gbadamosi became uncomfortable. It was the fear that the deceased might eventually expose him that prompted him to sniff life out of Michael. 

“Apart from being friend, late Michael and Gbadamosi were also roommates. On May 13, 2017, at Mamu area of Ijebu, the suspect came in around 6.30pm and shot Michael, who was sleeping, with a locally-made pistol, killing him instantly.”

It was gathered that the sound of the gunshot attracted other occupants of the house, who alerted the the police. Oyeyemi said;

“The Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the transfer of the suspect to the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad for further investigation,”
