A magistrate’s court in Akure, Ondo State has remanded a 14-year-old boy, Marvelous Asefon for stabbing his neighbour to death over a girlfriend-related issue.

The remand order was issued in connection to the alleged killing of his 17-year-old neighbour, Sunday Ogele.

According to reports, the defendant was apprehended by the state police command in April for killing the deceased with a pair of scissors during a dispute over a girlfriend in Oka Akoko, which is the administrative center of Akoko South-West Local Government Area.

The charge read, “That you, Marvelous Asefon, on Sunday, April 20, 2023, at 8pm in Kanmu, Oka-Akoko in the Ondo State Magisterial District, did kill one Sunday Ogele, 17, by stabbing him with a pair of scissors in his rib, which led to his death.”

The defendant was subsequently charged with one count of murder. The prosecution argued that the offence violated sections 319 (1) and 316 of the Criminal Code, Cap. 37, Vol. 2, Laws of Ondo State, 2016.

The court did not take the defendant’s plea.

During the proceedings, the prosecutor, Matins Olowofeso, submitted an application requesting the defendant’s remand in a custodial center until advice is received from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.

The magistrate, Folashade Aduroja, granted the prosecutor’s request and ordered the remand of the defendant. The case was adjourned until June 11 for further hearings.

14 year old knows what having a girlfriend is ?

A 14 year old understands the dept of feelings and emotions enough to stab a fellow boy ?


At 14 aren't we meant to be enjoying innocent relationships and care free friendships devoid of strings and commitments ?

Has a 14 year old enjoyed that freedom that comes with innocence enough that he's already entangled with issues of the heart ?

We have a 13+ in the house here and all he does is disturb everyone about school matters and things that should be bought for him or things that should be given to him.

I am trying very hard to comprehend a 14 year old, girlfriend, murder and stabbing in the same sentence.

Who failed this boy ?

What went wrong with him ?
