The police in Ogun State have
arrested a 37-year-old man, Kayode
Olubunmi, for allegedly flogging his
cousin to death on Christmas Day.
Olubunmi was said to have allegedly
flogged 20-year-old Haruna Adeoye
to death for eating up a bowl of
cooked rice earlier given to him
(Olubunmi) by a friend.
Adeoye said to be an orphan was
alleged to have eaten the rice while
Olubunmi was away from home –
contrary to his uncle’s earlier
instruction that it should be
reserved for dinner.
The police claimed that Olubunmi,
who returned home drunk, was
infuriated by his cousin’s effrontery
and while meting out corporal
punishment to Adeoye, it resulted in
his death.
The state Police Public Relations
Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, in a
statement made available to
newsmen in Abeokuta, explained
that the tragedy occurred last
December 25 at Ajegunle, Ita-
Oluwo, Ogijo, in Sagamu Local
Government Area of the state at
about 10.30pm.
Adejobi said, “ When the suspect,
who went on a visit to his friends’
place, came back drunk, he flogged
the deceased to death with a stick
for eating the rice he instructed him
to keep for their dinner.
“Haruna was an orphan who had
been staying with the suspect for
years and Olubunmi could not state
why he killed him.
“He (suspect) has confessed to the
crime, he is with us at SCID
Eleweran and will soon appear in
court.”
