He is a petroleum engineering graduate of the University of Benin and just came back from his association conference of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) in Lagos to prepare for his travel.
The yahoo boy was arrested and taken to the police station but the police have refused to disclose his identity.
They told the family of deceased that he was moved to Adesuwa police station and this turned out to be a lie because the station said the boy had not been moved and that there was some foul play in the previous station.”
