Stereoman Detained In Police Custody Over Alleged Mudrer

Some of you might know him as Ekwe Sample; his song Ekwe was quite popular many years back. He was also once a Glo ambassador. Not much was heard from him for many years until news filtered into town last week that he was arrested for the alleged murder of his baby mama, a lady called Rukayat Idris.

Rukayat was found dead in her car under a bridge around the Mile 2-Badagry Express way sometime last month. People who found her in the car said there were marks on her neck which looked like she'd been strangulated. A few days after her death, Rukayat's family members went to the police accusing Stereoman of killing her.

Stereoman and Rukayat lived together with their daughter until last year when he ended their relationship and moved out of their home. While they were together, Stereoman was alleged to have battered Rukayat often; one of the things that led to their separation. But battery doesn't mean murder. Stereoman is denying having anything to do with the sudden and mysterious death of Rukayat.

He is being held at the D4 section of State CID Panti.
