The state’s police spokesman, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the event in a statement and said the suspect was apprehended as a result of a report made by one Olaleye Taiwo to the Sango Ota Divisional Headquarters.
The complainant had claimed that his brother had a dispute with one of his tenants over the payment of an electrical bill, the police chief added.
He continued by saying that Ossai had grasped the deceased’s privates during the argument and had been dragging him along with it.
The landowner collapsed and was taken unconscious to the Ota General Hospital, where the attending physician pronounced him dead.
