A 26-year-old man, Olajide Ojo, who chose to pluck mangoes with a dane gun, has died of gunshot injuries.
Ms Olabisi Okuwobi, spokeswoman of the Oyo State Police Command, told newsmen in Ibadan yesterday that the tragedy occurred on April 3 on his father’s farm at Ilora, near Oyo.
Okuwubi said the police were investigating the incident as it was not clear if Ojo was killed by an accidental discharge from the gun.
“The father of the deceased stated that his son mistakenly shot himself as he was trying to pluck a mango,’’ she said.
Okuwobi said detectives had visited the farm and recovered the dane gun. Ojo’s remains, according to Okuwobi, had been deposited at the General Hospital, Oyo for autopsy. (NAN)

You just cant make such stories up.

Sympathy to the family.

They should investigate the death very well. Unless he is stupid to pluck mango wit a gun.

That certainly cant be ruled out. Airforce one attack.

For some bizarre reason, I find this thread funny.

The young man was learning skills. Next, he was gonna pluck money with gun. What an action movie!

May he rest in peace

My only hope is that he ate out of the mango before passing out else, he died for no reasom

Dem say sweet thing dey kill person

Hw can sm1 'die' as a result of pluckin mango?

He wasn't plucking the mangoes.He was shooting at them with a Dane gun.They were probably out of his reach and he wanted a lot of them so his idea was to use his Dane gun to bring them down (same way you shoot birds on a tree).The way i see it, he got hit with dispersed pellets from the gun. . .so much for buck shot. . .lol

When did pellets from bullets start travelling backwards.

Awon iyami mogbe idi fun yin o u are 2 gbaski

How the heck did this happen? Was the mango eating session so sweet that he turned his gun upside down? This is a bizarre story! Should be aired on Zone reality!
