According to the information gathered, two friends hacked their neighbor to death and stole in motorcycle. The assailants packed the lifeless body in a sack, threw it into a bush and pretended as genuine sympathizers, by joining other neighbors in a search for the victim. 

The ugly incident that took place in Imodi-Imosan in Ijebu-ode was promptly reported at the Police Divisional Headquarters in Obalende by the deceased’s elder brother, Moses Utuede, leading to a discreet investigation by crack detectives.

Investigation later revealed that the deceased was last seen with one Patrick Udom, 35, who lived in the same community with him and, as such, became police first suspect.

On his arrest and questioning, Patrick owned up to have committed the dastardly act and named one James Roland, 25, as his accomplice.

The victim, Happy Patrick, left home at about 7:00am yesterday, May 15, 2018, as a commercial motorcyclist and never returned.
