Police in Ogun State have arrested Alex Eziochukwu in connection with the death of 16-year-old Jamilu Lasisi during a football match in Ibegba, Sagamu Local Government Area.

According to the spokesperson of the Ogun State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, Eziochukwu was apprehended on Wednesday following a tip-off from the victim’s nephew, Tobi Olarewaju.

Odutola explained, “We received a call from Tobi Olarewaju, who reported that his 16-year-old nephew, Jamilu Lasisi, was playing football when an argument broke out between him and another player. During the altercation, Jamilu collapsed and was rushed to Owokoniran Hospital in Sagamu, where he was declared dead by the attending doctor.”

Eziochukwu reportedly fled the scene, prompting a police manhunt. He was eventually arrested on Wednesday morning.
