The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a suspect in connection with the deaths of a gospel singer and three others who were found dead in a music studio in the Ajah area of Lagos State.
The victims were identified as gospel artist Matthew Ogundele, Itunu Ogundele, Joseph Sanya, and blogger Matthew Awosanya, also known as JoesTv. Their bodies were found last Wednesday in a studio at the HFP Shopping Complex on the Abraham Adesanya stretch of Ajah.
The Police said the studio owner, Akintayo Akinbola, reported the incident. He told officers the victims were part of a gospel music group invited to perform at a birthday praise event organised by his wife.
