Hakeem Odumosu, the state commissioner of police, who confirmed the development on Thursday, said the suspect confessed to committing the crime.

Odumosu, who spoke with journalists while parading the suspect at the police command in Ikeja, also said that Ataga’s bank account has been blocked to prevent further withdrawals by those taking advantage of his death.

Ataga was reported to have been found in a pool of his blood after he was stabbed to death, with multiple wounds found in several parts of his body.
