house. I told him to escort me to a primary school not too far from the
house. The name of the school is Anglican Primary School, Ijanikin.

followed me to the place and on arrival there, I stabbed him with a

on the strength of the information, the DPO and his men raced to the
place. On arrival, they found the lifeless body of a four-year-old boy
