Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A man identified as Kamoru Ojo is currently in police custody for allegedly beating his 27-year-old daughter, Shakirat, to death at their home in the Ojo area of Lagos State.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that on Thursday, April 3, 2025, an altercation between Ojo and Shakirat escalated, leading to him physically assaulting her.<\/p>\n

During the beating, Shakirat reportedly lost consciousness and died.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to cover up the crime, Ojo allegedly dug a shallow grave within their compound and buried his daughter\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

When authorities were unable to determine Shakirat\u2019s whereabouts, a missing person report was filed with the Okokomaiko Division of the Lagos State Police Command.<\/p>\n

Homicide and crime scene detectives were dispatched, and they discovered the victim\u2019s remains buried on the property.<\/p>\n

CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the state Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed Ojo\u2019s arrest and stated that the body has been exhumed and taken to a public morgue for an autopsy.<\/p>\n

He further stated that the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
