A man named Kamoru Ojo has been arrested by the police in Lagos for allegedly killing his daughter, Shakirat, who was 27 years old.

The incident happened on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at their home in the Ojo area of Lagos State. Reports say there was a fight between the father and daughter, and during the argument, Ojo reportedly beat her badly. Sadly, Shakirat became unconscious and later died.

To hide what happened, Ojo is said to have dug a shallow grave in their compound and buried her body.

When people could not find Shakirat, her disappearance was reported to the Okokomaiko Police Division. The police then started an investigation and sent detectives to the house. That’s when they found her body buried on the property.

The Lagos State Police spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest. He said the body has been taken out of the grave and moved to a public morgue for an autopsy. The investigation is still going on.
