The arrest
was made following investigations carried out after late Segun's wife
filed a missing person's report.
Late Kola Segun worked as a security
guard for Multi-Links telecom firm at Oniru but was sacked when he
suffered an asthmatic attack while on duty. Raski Yusuf and Saidi Amosun
who also worked as security guards in the firm were also arrested by
the police.
According to The Nation, One of the
suspect, Samuna, called late Segun about a job offer in Lekki Phase 1.
Segun informed his wife before he left home to meet with them. However,
when her husband didn't return the next day, Mrs Segun went to his
former office to look for him but learnt that he was never recalled. She
got Samuna's number from the security guards around and tried reaching
him.
She called Samuna several times before he
picked. He informed her that her husband duped him of N2.6m which he
collected under the pretense of helping him acquire a land. She
went back to the company in search Samuna Hussien but he wasn't around.
She was informed that Samuna asked her to wait inside the premises but
she left when she sensed something was wrong.
Mrs
Segun then went to the police station where she filed a missing
person's report stating that the last time she saw her husband was on
24th November, 2016. The police, recalling that Samuna had been to the
station on 24th November to report Late Segun but hurriedly left when he
was asked to make a statement, went to the company to make
investigations and found out it was the same case.They arrested the
Samuna and his brother.
When contacted by the
police, an elderly security guard who works in the company revealed that
he overhead Samuna and his brother asking late Segun where the money
was as they beat him up in the premises but he chased them out in order
to avoid trouble.
After initially denying any
knowledge of the event, Samuna's brother, Harua later confessed that
they buried Segun inside the compound. According to him, they beat him
up with hammer until he became unconscious, but he died as they couldn't
take him to the hospital because the tricyclist they contacted refused
to carry him.
When they realized he had died,
they buried him inside the company. They used dried weeds and debris to
cover his grave in such a way that no one will have an idea what
happened.
She said Segun’s body would be exhumed today for autopsy. The suspects would be prosecuted.
