Mr. Micheal Edeh, father to the two children and their dog found dead in a
freezer at Igbogbo-Baiyeku area of Ikorodu has been transferred to the Criminal
Investigation Department, CID, Panti, Yaba.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, who disclosed
this yesterday, said that Edeh, who is now a suspect, was transferred to CID
for further interrogation to ascertain the real cause of the children’s death.
“I have confirmed the matter and the CP directed that the father of the
deceased be brought to notice to know his ulterior motive or whether it is an
act of negligence,” Oti said.
Recall that when the incident happened on Sunday, the residence of Mr. and
Mrs Edeh was found under lock and key and the flat was empty and deserted.
One of the neighbours, who did not want his name mentioned, said: “It is only
God that can determine the root causes of the death of the children.
“How can the children die in such a manner and their father was inside the
house sleeping?
“I think it is beyond human imagination, the only thing that could be done is an
autopsy to educate them on the real cause of the children’s death.”
Another neighbour, Mr. Kamoru Adewale, said “since the matter has been
handed over to the Police, everything will be done to unravel the mystery
behind the deaths.”
All efforts to get a community leader to react to the incident proved abortive.
