Operatives of the Ogun state police command have arrested a 40-year-old-man, Michael Salako, for allegedly beating a motorcyclist to death in the Lafenwa area of Abeokuta last Wednesday.

This was contained in a statement released on Sunday by the Ogun police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi 

The PPRO said Salako was arrested on July 28 after fighting with the motorcyclist, during which he gave up the ghost.

The PPRO said the victim was identified as Abudu and his corpse has been deposited in the morgue for autopsy.
