The\u00a0 Nigerian Navy has handed over the suspected killer of a female Naval Commander, Oluwayemisi Ogundana,\u00a0 in Jaji near Kaduna State, to the police for prosecution.
Following the killing of the officer,\u00a0 who was the Commandant of the Command Secondary School of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, in September,\u00a0 the military arrested\u00a0 50 suspects including Bernard Simon in connection with the killing.
The police paraded Simon and other suspected criminals arrested recently before reporters on\u00a0 Wednesday in Kaduna.
Simon, 36, who confessed to the crime,\u00a0\u00a0 said he killed the commander after sneaking into her home at Jaji Military Cantonment.
The state Commissioner of Police, Ali Janga, who paraded him,\u00a0 claimed the suspect raped Ogundana to death, a claim which Simon denied.
Simon said he killed the officer because she was fond of cheating the workers under her.
He said he hit her head with an iron rod.
He added that after dismembering her body, he packed them into two\u00a0Ghana-must-go\u00a0bags, dropped them in the officer\u2019s SUV and drove off to where he dumped the two bags into a shallow well.
Simon said, \u201cI killed Commander Ogundana alone. I sneaked into her house in the evening and hit her on the head with an iron rod.
\u201cI killed her because she was cheating us in the school. I am a teacher in the school and she was cheating us. I killed her to set the whole staff of the school free from her.
\u201cThere are some financial benefits she deprived us of. She denied me N100,000. That is why I killed her to set myself and other staff free from her.\u201d

The\u00a0CP said they recovered weapons from the suspects.
