It was gathered that on the day of the incident, Victor had invited two of his friends identified as Kelechi Kalu and Ahmed Abubakar, to the bar to wait for Oso.

In the evening of the day, the deceased was said to have gone to the pub after closing from work and while going through the books, he noticed some discrepancies and while inquiring from Victor, they got into an argument.

Victor was said to have called in his friends who were hiding inside the bar and the three of them descended on Oso, beating him to a pulp before stabbing him in different parts of the body.

After that, they reportedly locked Oso’s bleeding body in the bar and fled in his car to a hotel in the Abule Egba area of the state where they were to wait for a buyer.

Victor and Abubakar reportedly changed their bloodstained clothes and returned to the bar as if nothing happened but a customer who had noticed when they left the premises with the bloodstained clothes, raised the alarm, leading to their arrest.

A family friend said that the suspects had attacked the victim in his office after demanding money and his ATM card.

“When Oso got to the shop that day, he met the three men but didn’t suspect anything. He had entered when the three men attacked him. They demanded money, his ATM card and the key to a car he parked on the premises.

When he told them he didn’t have money and was not using any ATM card, which was true, they beat him and stabbed him up to death.”
