A medical doctor in Edo State, Adebowale Abass has been explaining to the Police how his injection of a taxi driver Emmanuel Agbovinuere, led to his death in Benin City.
According to Edo State Police spokesman Chidi Nwabuzor, Adebowale, a graduate of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, and works with the Kaiama General Hospital allegedly dumped the taxi driver’s corpse in the bush after he died.
“The Edo State Police Command in an attempt to rid the state of crime and criminality arrested a medical doctor, Abass Adebowale, 36, for killing Emmanuel Agbovinuere, 39, a cab driver.
“The victim and the suspect met in July this year at an undisclosed hotel in Benin and that is where their relationship started. On Sunday, September 4, the suspect came from Kwara State and they met at the same hotel, where as a customer, he took him around to where he was to do his business.
“The cab man complained of leg pain and the doctor promised to help and injected some poisonous drugs in his system. That was what killed him instantly. To conceal the crime, he left the corpse in the man’s Toyota Voltron car, but later took the corpse to Ondo Road, Oluku, Edo State, and dumped the corpse there.
“When the Anti-Kidnapping Unit got notice of what happened, they mobilised and he was arrested in Osogbo, Osun State, with the deceased car,” the police spokesperson stated.
