A 33-year-old lady is being held by the Ogun State Police Command in Nigeria after she is accused of killing her landlord's testicles following an argument about an electrical bill.
The unfortunate death of Ifeoma Ossai's 50-year-old landlord, Monday Oladele, in Sango-Ota on Saturday, March 11, led to her detention by the police, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
The state's police spokesman, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the event in a statement and said the suspect was apprehended as a result of a report made by one Olaleye Taiwo to the Sango Ota Divisional Headquarters.
The complainant stated that his brother and his tenant had a dispute regarding the payment of the power bill, the police chief clarified.

He continued by saying that Ossai had grasped the deceased's privates during the argument and had been dragging him along with it.
The landowner collapsed and was taken unconscious to the Ota General Hospital, where the attending physician pronounced him dead.
"After receiving the information, CSP Saleh Dahiru, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the Sango Ota Division, took his investigators to the spot, where they quickly detained the culprit and took him into custody for further investigation.

According to NAN, Ogun State Commissioner of Police Frank Mba has ordered the suspect's immediate transfer to the State Criminal Investigation Department's homicide department for a thorough investigation and prosecution.
