The Ondo State Police Command has arrested an ex-convict, Omokinwa Ademola, for allegedly killing his girlfriend, Joy Jimoh, during a dispute in Idanre.

The fight reportedly began after Ademola refused to refund ₦100,000 he borrowed from the deceased, leading to a violent altercation.

Police spokesperson, SP Ayanlade Olushola, said the incident occurred on October 7, 2025, during which the suspect allegedly beat Joy until she lost consciousness.

She was rushed to a hospital, where she was confirmed dead, while the DPO of Idanre led officers to arrest the suspect at the scene.

Commissioner of Police, CP Adebowale Lawal, condemned the act and ordered a full investigation by the State Criminal Investigation Department.
