The police in Osun State have arrested the former Senior Special Assistant to Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State, Bode Olugbore, after a 29-year-old lady, Kemi Arobieke, was allegedly found dead in his apartment under controversial circumstances.
It was gathered that Ms Kemi, who the family claimed was Olugbore’s lover, was found dead in the ex-SSA’s apartment on Saturday, August 8.
Kemi, an event planner, came from Lagos to visit Olugbore in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Thursday, August 6, and promised to return on Saturday...
It was learnt that Kemi’s family, however, got a call on Sunday that the lady had been electrocuted in the ex-SSA’s apartment, and her corpse had been deposited in a mortuary.
The matter was reported at the Dada Police Division, and policemen from the station removed the corpse from the apartment. It was learnt that the ex-SSA was arrested thereafter for questioning.
The deceased’s elder brother, Ayoola, who confirmed the death of his sister to Punch on Tuesday said Kemi had known Olugbore for about four years, but the family initially did not know about their affair.
He said he, Kemi and Olugbore were members of the same church in Lagos, adding that his younger sister told the family that the suspect had separated from his wife, who had three children for him.
He said, “My sister travelled to Osogbo and she was supposed to return to Lagos on Saturday, but we got a call from the police that she was involved in an accident and it was very serious. When we got to Osogbo, the police prevented us from seeing her, but told us that she had been electrocuted by an electric fan, but it is unbelievable.”
Ayoola, said the explanation sounded illogical as there were no traces of burn on her body or on the fan.
He said, “However, we are waiting for the outcome of the autopsy which was done on Saturday..."
Punch gathered that Olugbore’s lawyer’s said the ex-SSA was not in his apartment at the time of the incident, adding that Kemi’s death was a domestic accident.
