Suspect arrested in murder of founder of Gokada ride-sharing app, New York Times reports

NEW YORK, July 17 (Reuters) - The personal assistant to
Fahim Saleh, who founded the Nigerian ride-sharing app Gokada,
was arrested on Friday in the murder of the 33-year-old tech
entrepreneur in his Manhattan apartment, the New York Times
reported, citing two officials briefed on the matter.
Saleh's body was found dismembered and decapitated in his
luxury condo on Tuesday, New York police said.
The suspect, identified by the Times as Tyrese Devon Haspil,
21, is expected to be charged in the murder.
A spokesman for the New York Police Department disputed the
report.
"Last I was told, we don't have anyone in custody," police
spokesman Sergeant Vincent Marchese said by phone. "There is no
arrest. I don't know where they're getting the information
from."
