LINK: SUNDAY TRIBUNE

A 30-year-old man, Mustapha Sanni, who allegedly turned to a monkey was killed by a hunter at Abudoro forest in Sangobon village in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State.


Mr. Ezekiel Adeyemo, Sunday Tribune gathered last Sunday at 3 p.m went to Abudoro forest for hunting. While in the forest, he saw a monkey on the tree and Adeyemo aimed his dane gun and shot at the supposed animal which died immediately.


When the animal fell from the tree, Adeyemo found that it was not a monkey but one Mustapha Sanni who lived in the same village with him.


According to the hunter, Sanni used to go to the forest to fetch sponge which he in turn sold at the market. The hunter, after the incident, it was gathered, immediately went to the village to inform the elders, the police and family of the deceased.


The remains of Sanni were picked from the forest by the police which intended to carry out autopsy and investigation but the family objected and insisted on immediate burial since the deceased was a Muslim.


The Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Olabisi Okuwobi confirmed the incident saying that the hunter who had since been detained at the Moniya police station will soon be transferred to the State CID for proper investigation.
