Ondo State Police command has arrested Adeyemi Alao suspected to be the killer of the daughter of former Deputy Governor of the state, Miss Khadijat Oluboyo.
Khadijat, daughter of Lasisi Oluboyo who was also a one-time Commissioner in Ex-Governor Olusegun Mimiko’s Cabinet was found dead in Alao’s residence on Sunday.

The suspect was said to be staying permanently in Abuja.
It was learnt that Alao had made attempts to bury Khadijat’s corpse in his house at Oke-Aro area of Akure.

Khadihat, a-20 year old final year student of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko was said to be fond of visiting his ex-lover each time he came to Akure from Abuja and usually passed the night with him.
