The police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed this on Wednesday said the incident occurred at Ope-Ilu part of Agbado in Ifo Local Government Area of the State.
He said on December 25, trouble started when an argument ensued over a missing phone with the deceased accusing the suspect of taking it.
