Lateef Arrested for Alleged Murder of Retired Civil Servant

Lateef, known as Alhaji Oki Osan, was arrested by the Ogun State Police Command over 10 months after the murder of retired civil servant Oluwaseun. The investigation intensified under the directive of Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu and Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni.

The murder was allegedly motivated by Lateef's belief that Oluwaseun had collected her retirement benefits, which he intended to steal. Lateef gained access to her apartment through a window while she was away at a friend's retirement party.

Upon her return, he allegedly strangled her and inflicted multiple wounds with a cutlass. Lateef claimed the murder stemmed from a financial disagreement involving N3.45 million he had entrusted to her, which she failed to return.

However, Oluwaseun's family refuted his claims, stating they had no knowledge of any financial transaction with him. They expressed concern when they could not reach her the following day.
