A notable lawyer and insurance practitioner, Mrs Ola Adeola, has been killed in her Lekki, Lagos home.
She is the daughter of a former Chief Justice of Ogun State, Justice Ebenezer Craig.
The slain lawyer was allegedly killed Sunday night by her driver and house maid at her 108, Omisore Lane, Oniru Estate home.
Her throat was slashed, a source told journalists.
Both the driver and housemaid were said to have disappeared, while the victim’s corpse has been deposited at a morgue.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Lagos State Command,
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the
incident.
He, however, said two persons had been arrested in connection with the matter.
“The report is true and I can confirm to you that we are fully on it.
We have arrested two persons and they are in police custody as
investigations kicks off full-swing on the orders of the commissioner of
police.
“In fact, following his order, the case has been transferred to the
State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba on Lagos
Minland,” Nwosu told The Nation.
He added: “The police are on their toes to arrest two fleeing
suspects in connection to the case and the commissioner has mandated us
to get everyone involved arrested for prosecution.”
