Ogun state who is now termed the prime suspect.
According

knowing the deceased while being drilled by Police detectives, but later
admitted knowing the deceased. He however gave an alibi that he was
reading with some of his colleagues at the university premises at the
time of the murder.
The
Police thereafter visited the university where the school authorities
were said to have told them that the student was not anywhere near their
premises at that material time.
The father of the suspect also told Police detectives that his son got home around 10p.m that day.
Late
Ohamara, in his 30s, resides in a three-bedroom flat at 26 Obayan
Street, Akoka with his elder sister, Flora and one Collins, an
undergraduate of the University of Lagos and friend of the deceased who
was squatting with them.
It
was learnt that on the day Ohamara was killed, he had returned home
from office with a stranger with whom he was suspected to have had a gay
relationship with.
According to the security guard at the gate, Ohamara and the stranger arrived home in the deceased’s car.
It
was also learnt that some of the persons earlier arrested in connection
with the murder have identified the undergraduate as the stranger who
returned home with Ohamara that night and disappeared before the
severely-stabbed banker was discovered.
