Shefiat Usani, a popular ponmo seller who lives at Okesoro Area in Iyin Ekiti, Ekiti State was gruesomely murdered by a man suspected to be a herbalist in the early hours of Monday in her house.
According to an eye witness, her suspected murderers (two male and two females with little kids) have also since been arrested and transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department, CID, Headquarters in Ado Ekiti from Iyin Ekiti Police Station where they were earlier detained.
At the time the PMParrot arrived Iyin Ekiti Police Station where the four suspects were initially detained after their arrest, a crowd of the Igbira people had gathered there creating scene and demanding that the Police should release the main suspect who killed their Igbira Sister to them.
While the melee lasted, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in-charge of Iyin Ekiti and his men had an hectic time controlling the crowd that thronged the police station.
The DPO and his men were later supported when an unnamed Assistant Commissioner of Police arrived the police station with more reinforcement of patrol teams.
As at the time of filing this report, efforts were still being made to reach out to Mr Sunday Abutu the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Ekiti State to be able to get further update on the matter.
