A family of five in Temidire Community, Sabo,
Abeokuta North Local Government Area of
Ogun State, on Friday died in mysterious
circumstance in their room while asleep.
On a visit to the home located at Number 3
Ireti Akinbode Street, Friday, PREMIUM TIMES
gathered that the victims include a father,
mother, and three children
Neighbours said Aliu Adeoye, his second wife,
identified as Iya Aliya, and their three children
slept in a room, where they all died before
daybreak on Friday.
Mr. Adeoye’s first wife and her three children
slept in another room within the six-room
bungalow, but suffered no ailment.
However,a neighbour who spoke to journalists
expressed shock at the development. He said
some of the neighbours perceived a pungent
chemical odour from the building.
Also,a retiree who lived opposite the building
said it was the wailing of the first wife that
woke members of the community before they
found the corpses.
“It was a noise that woke us up and we initially
thought it was armed robbery or probably from
the mosque but when we listened very
carefully, we observed that it was like wailing
and we rushed out to find so many people in
front of the house,” the retiree said, asking not
to be named.
“We could not say what happened because
there was no noise in the midnight but we
were told that it was the first wife that called
people’s attention, you know it is a polygamous
family, the wives were always fighting but what
led to the death of the whole lineage
is still a surprise to me, I have never seen this
in my life.
“Some people are saying it was the fume from
a generator, they use generator but it is always
at the side of the house, as you can see the
compound is not gated. But one thing is that
the wives are always fighting, cursing each
other, it has gotten to a stage that the
community leader had to intervene but all to
no avail, there has never been peace among
them,” she said.
The neighbour told journalists that the first
wife whose name could not be ascertained as at
the time of this report later fainted and was
rushed to a nearby maternity centre in Sabo
area where she was said to have been revived.
At the hospital, the situation took another
dramatic dimension as community members
tried to lynch her after they blamed her for the
deaths.
The intervention of police officers from Ilupeju
Divisional Police Headquarters saved the
situation as the woman was quickly moved to
an undisclosed hospital.
However, hours after the calamity, the whole
area was deserted and few residents seen on
the street declined further comments when
approached by journalists.
They directed PREMIUM TIMES and other
journalists to the zonal leader of the
community who was the Arabic teacher of the
deceased children.
The community leader, Abubakar Olowoorioke,
explained that they were in the mosque in the
early hours when a woman alerted them. He
said they got to the scene and found the dead
bodies of the deceased.
He said he could not move closer to the scene
again following the shock, but added that odour
of chemicals could be perceived from inside
the house.
“It was a surprise to us when we got to the
place but what we observed was that there was
an odour like an insecticide chemical and we
had to rush out, but someone told us that it
could be the fume from the generator,” he
explained.
When contacted, the Ogun State Police
Command Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa
Adejobi, confirmed the incident. He said
medical examination of the corpses would
reveal the cause of death.
“The police found the body of five people in
the building this morning, the cause of the
death is yet unknown.
“We also heard an allegation that some people
wanted to lynch a step mother to the
deceased and nearly set the building ablaze.
“We cannot ascertain the cause of the death for
now, there are allegations here and there but
the police will do what need to be done, that is
postmortem, that will tell us the cause of the
death.”
Mr. Adejobi said the police “have heard several
versions of the story”.
“Some said it was a carbon monoxide from the
generator, some said it was spiritual that the
step mother actually killed them, some even
said she sprayed something in the room but
the medical practitioner, through postmortem
will tell us the cause of the death,” he said.
The spokesperson appealed to people
concerned not to embark on jungle justice,
adding that the police will arrest whoever
violates the law.
