She stated: “The altercation took place in the market square between the late Mark Kalu and a couple, Mba Moses, aged 50, and his wife, Florence, aged 40, leading to the death of Kalu.
“Efforts were initially made by the Babaloja of Osiele and the Igbo Community Leader to mediate and find amicable resolution but these failed.
“However, the suspects have now been taken into custody for a preliminary investigation into the matter.”
The police spokesperson added that the body of the deceased had been deposited at the mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Idi Aba, Ogun State, for autopsy.
