One Shade Moke, 41, has been arrested by the men of the Nigerian police force, Lagos state command, along with three others for allegedly killing one Halimat Sodiq, 16, who until her death was a househelp to the suspect mastermind, Moke.

A statement released by Bala Elkana, spokesperson of the state police command, says men of the Bariga Police station received a tipoff on May 9 that one Shade Moke, 41, conspired with three others on February 29 and allegedly killed her 16-year-old househelp, Halimat Sodiq, over an allegation of stealing.

The victim is said to be a house help to Shade Moke. She was accused of stealing N2000 from her madam which she denied. The madam invited the remaining three suspects who tortured the girl to death. They buried her secretly at Atan cemetery Lagos, so as to conceal the murder. The four suspects were arrested but they denied the allegations.

They however, admitted slapping the girl for denying that she stole the money. They claimed that the girl went into convulsion after drinking water and that they took her to three different hospitals before she eventually died. That the girl was buried by her parents not the suspects. The parents were also contacted for their statement” Bala’s statement read.
