Man Kills Neighbor Over Alleged Affair With His Wife
crime took place.
The police in Ogun have arrested a 30-year-old panel
beater, Wasiu Yusuf, for allegedly stabbing his friend,
Adeolu Olatoye, to death in Abeokuta.
Another suspect in the alleged killing of the 32-year-old
graphic artist, Mukaila Popoola, is currently on the run. The
suspect's wife, 26-year-old Busayo, is also in detention at
the Adatan Police Station.
The victim, the suspect and his alleged accomplice lived in
the same premises before the incident.
Our correspondent gathered that Adeolu was allegedly
killed by Yusuf and his accomplice in their residence in the
Oke-Efon area of Abeokuta for allegedly having an affair
with his wife.
Olatoye was said to have met his death barely two weeks
after he named his new born child. The victim was also said
to be making preparations for his mother's 80th birthday.
Police sources disclosed that during interrogation, the
suspect allegedly confessed to attacking the deceased when
he visited his wife in their matrimonial home.
The suspect was said to have further claimed that the victim
mistakenly stabbed himself during a scuffle between them
while attempting to escape from his room.
But an eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, claimed that
Olatoye had gone to his friend's room on the middle floor
of the two-storey building to give him an invitation card for
his mother's 80th birthday scheduled to hold on Saturday
when the suspect allegedly attacked him with broken
bottles.
The deceased's elder brother, Akinyemi Olatoye, also
insisted that his late brother had gone to his alleged
attacker's home to drop a copy of the invitation card for
their mother's birthday.
Akinyemi said his deceased brother and the suspect were
bossom friends.
Confirming the incident, the acting State Police Public
Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the police were
investigating the incident.
He said, "Information at our disposal is that the suspect met
the deceased on his wife inside their room."
