Why I killed Navy Commandant: Suspect Speaks

Suspected Killer of navy commandant Simon Bernard, a teacher at the Command Secondary School of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC) in Jaji community of Kaduna state, has confessed to the killing of the deceased.

According to reports, Bernard was nabbed after the person he gave Ogundana’s car to sell was apprehended.

In the course of interrogation, Mr Bernard revealed to the police that he and the deceased were having an affair before she died.

While speaking to Vanguard, Simon told the police that problems started between them when Ogundana by the veto of her power as the Commandant of the school sacked him as the Chairman of the School’s Parent Teachers Association PTA and also refused to pay him the sum of N2.5 million after he was sacked.

Simon was arrested after a civilian driver was caught with the deceased’s Toyota Highlander. He was said to have packed the Toyota Highlander belonging to the Commander Ogundana at Air Provost Squadron Office in Kaduna owing to fuel shortage in the car and went out of the base to buy fuel.

Upon his return to put the fuel into the car and move it out, some Airforce officers who had gotten wind that the car belonged to a missing Navy Commander from Jaji, laid ambush around the SUV and arrested him immediately.

He was taken into custody and during interrogation, the driver confessed that Mr Simon gave him the SUV to sell.

Ogundana who was married with kids, was declared missing on September 20th before her dismembered body was later found inside a Ghana-Must-Go bag dumped inside a shallow well.
