He was said to be alone in the house when the incident happened while his corpse was discovered on Saturday by his wife and children who had earlier travelled.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that neighbours had confirmed sighting Olorunleke in the neighborhood on Thursday morning.

”The wife of the deceased put a call across to the some of the neighbors on Thursday when she could not reach her husband on phone and they informed her that they saw him that very day.

”We were shocked after the wife arrived Saturday morning, met the door closed and sought the assistance of people to break the door where she found her husband’s corpse on the floor lying in a pool of his own blood,” a neighbour told NAN.

The state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Caleb Ikechukwu, confirmed the arrest of a suspect, but said investigations were still ongoing.

The PPRO, however, did not reveal the identity of the suspect.
