An investigation revealed that the deceased happened to be Rukayat’s lover who came to spend some time with her but died in suspicious circumstances in the house of the suspect.

Rukayat then connived with her two other accomplices to take the body and dump it in the bush”, he emphasized.

ASP Oyeyemi said on interrogation, Bashorun confessed that the deceased was her man friend who went to visit her but suddenly fell sick.
