The police have arrested a suspect identified as Bolarinwa Segilogbon over the killing of an online ‘ponmo’ (hides) vendor also identified as Amdalat Afeez. The suspect confessed to the crime that he killed the deceased, Amdalat Afeez, after he used a plank to hit her, and she already knew his house and might report it to the police.
Bolarinwa Segilogbon confessed to the crime, stating that he had lured the victim to a construction site under false pretenses, claiming a potential buyer was interested in purchasing ponmo. Upon her arrival in the evening, she inquired about the prospective buyer, and he revealed that the true intention was to collect a loan she had agreed to provide. Her disappointment and upset led to an argument, which escalated to physical violence when he struck her with a plank.
As reported by The Vanguard News on Friday, Bolarinwa Segilogbon said, “So, I invited her to a construction site that I’m monitoring because I had told her someone wanted to buy ponmo. After her arrival in the evening, she asked me about the people who wanted to buy ponmo, and I told her it wasn’t because of the ponmo I invited her that it was because of the money she agreed to borrow from me. She later got upset after feeling disappointed, and from there we started arguing. I then hit her with a plank. After the incident happened, I didn’t even plan it, but I felt she already knew my house and she may report it to the police; that was why I killed her.”….Seë_Morë
