A Shattered Dream For An Undergraduate by Jamie1360(m): 7:51am On Oct 29, 2015 |
JUST like every energetic young men, Lawal
Afolabi Kunbi, a business administration student
of Lagos State Polytechnic, Isolo, has been
dreaming of tying the conjugal rights with his
heartthrob. It was a dream he has nurtured over
the years and had put up everything within his
power to ensure its success. The two families,
The Guardian learnt, have already agreed on a
December date to consummate the marriage rite.
But that was not to be as his dream of many
years was shattered last Thursday at Olorunfunmi
Street in Oworo area of Lagos.
He was hatched to death by a man, who allegedly
owed him some money, in a bid to evade
repayment, two months away to his wedding.
On that fateful day, Kunbi was said to have
received a telephone call from a private security
guard, identified simply as Aliu, who lives on
same street with him, to come and collect N32,
000 owed him.
It was learnt that the deceased, who also
operates a provision store in the neighbourhood
had about a month ago sold his motorcycle to
Aliu, in order to raise money to pay his school
fees. So, when he received the call from Aliu, he
had rushed out of his shop to Aliu’s apartment
with enthusiasm that his school fees would be
paid after all.
However, unknown to him, Aliu had other plans
and that was to be Kunbi’s last appearance.
Sensing sinister plans, the family conducted a
search through out Thursday’ night only to find
Kunbi’s lifeless body behind Aliu’s compound on
Friday around 9am.
The discovery of the body, a source said, threw
the entire neighbourhood into confusion and
mourning.
According to the source, there was a mark of
violence all over his body, while the five fingers of
the victim were severed.
A rope was also found tied round his neck, which
depicted that he might have been strangled. The
confusion led to the invitation of the police, who
arrested Aliu and four other suspects.
Before Aliu’s arrest, residents said, he was seen
on Friday’s morning fetching water from Kunbi’s
compound.
One of the residents said: “The number of times
he went to fetch water arouse the curiosity of
residents, necessitating the brave ones to ask
what he was doing with the unusual volume of
water he was fetching.
“ Not satisfied with his explanation, some of the
residents, it was learnt, forced their way into his
apartment, where they allegedly discovered, to
their shock, blood stains all over the place. The
suspect was said to have been using the water to
clean up the bloodstains in his apartment,
apparently to cover up his track.
“Also, shattered louvres were reportedly seen all
over the apartment”, a resident said.
“When we went through the telephone, Kunbi left
when he rushed out that Thursday’s night, we
discovered that Aliu called him last.
“But, when we asked him, Aliu denied ever seeing
Kunbi, insisting rather that a search party be
raised to look for him.
“However, what gave him away was the
bloodstain that was trailed to Aliu’s apartment,
right to where Kunbi’s body was dumped.
“We also saw a white cloth stained with blood, on
the floor and the key of Kunbi’s shop in Aliu’s
apartment. “When he discovered that the game
was up, he pleaded that we should not kill him
and disclosed that the plan to kill Kunbi was
hatched by his friends.”
Kunbi’s land lady, who described him as a hard
working young man said she sent her daughter on
that fateful day to go and lock the gate, only for
her to come back to say that Kunbi’s shop was
still opened at that odd hour.
“I decided to come down myself to lock the gate
and still met the shop opened. I was surprised
because it was very much unlike him. He never
kept late nights nor lived a frivolous life. I decided
to go downstairs to lock the gate myself, with the
intention that he would call when he returned.
“ One boy said he left the shop at about 8pm, and
when I asked where he went to, he could not
provide answer. I decided to call him on the
phone, only to discover it was ringing right in his
shop. Two hours later, I called the boy who said
he saw Kunbi going out, to find out if he was
back but he said no. At that moment, I knew
something was wrong and informed my husband.
“To my shock, after my morning devotion, I went
out only to see a crowd watching a lifeless body
that was covered with nylon. On further enquiry, it
was Kunbi’s body”, the landlady added.
Meanwhile, the five suspects arrested in
connection with the crime are in custody at
Alonge Oworo Police Division, which the
spokesman of the Lagos State Police Command,
Joe Offor, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, who
confirmed the incident, said investigation into the
matter is still on-going.
