He explained that, the deceased playing a role of good Samaritan met and offered his murderer a ride, and after a few miles on the road, the suspect requested to urinate and so the deceased stopped the motorbike and waited for him.
Venunye indicated that the suspect unexpectedly pulled out a hoe and started hitting Mawufemor in the head until the victim died on the spot.
Unfortunately for the suspect, some residents came across the incident and attempted to save the deceased but found him lifeless. They subsequently managed to accost the suspect who had taken to his heels.
They kept custody of him until the police arrived at the scene.
