“Officers immediately responded and proceeded to Ogunmoyero Street, River Valley Estate, where they forced entry into the premises and found the lifeless body of Mr. Adun on the first floor, bearing visible stab wounds.

Preliminary investigations revealed that Oluwadamilare had unlawfully entered the residence on Saturday, July 5, 2025, intending to rob his former employer. During the attempted robbery, he allegedly stabbed Adun to death before fleeing the scene with the stolen vehicle.

The breakthrough came when the suspect attempted to sell the stolen car to a dealer in Ijede, Ikorodu. The dealer, suspicious of Oluwadamilare’s story, alerted the police, leading to his arrest at the point of sale.
