Preliminary investigation showed that the suspect first attempted to poison Akanbi but the plan failed.

He then allegedly attacked her while she was bathing by concealing himself behind a door and striking her with household items.

Items recovered from the suspect include a frying pan, a weighing scale, a kitchen turning stick (spatula), and kitchen knives.

The suspect confessed during interrogation that resentment towards the deceased drove the act. After the attack, he changed his clothes and left the residence under the pretext of running an errand.

He later contacted the deceased's husband, who then discovered her lifeless body at home.
