The Ogun State Police Command has launched a manhunt for an Islamic cleric, identified only as Raheem , for allegedly killing a co- tenant , Monday Olaleye, aka Messiah.

The duo, who lived in a house on Adebayo Close, in the Ibafo , Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of the state, reportedly had a disagreement which degenerated to fisticuffs.

The fight, which occured on Sunday , February 11 , started
after 49 - year - old Olaleye demanded the N60 contribution of Raheem for the replacement of a burnt
electric fuse .

Olaleye was appointed by other tenants to collect funds for the purchase of the new fuse , valued at N 600 .

During the fight, Raheem , aka Alfa, was alleged to have hit Olaleye with a stick , while the victim used a plastic chair to fight back. Both men were reportedly injured .

The next day, Olaleye’ s health condition deteriorated and he was rushed to a private hospital where he was confirmed dead .

The deceased ’s family members were said to have reported the case at the Ibafo Police Station .

PUNCH Metro learnt that neighbours, who got wind of a possible mass arrest, fled the house .

When our correspondent visited the community on Thursday , he observed that the house had been locked up .

Residents approached for information either declined comment or feigned ignorance of the incident.

However , PUNCH Metro established contact with a
few of the runaway tenants ,who spoke on condition of
anonymity .

A father of two said the police locked up the house
when they did not meet anyone , adding that they left with three generators belonging to tenants .

He said , “ I remember the two men had a disagreement over payment for a burnt electrical fuse. which was valued at N600 . We are 10 tenants in the house occupying the 10 single room apartments . We divided the money and everybody was asked to pay N60 .

“ I was sleeping when I heard a noise . I was indisposed and couldn ’ t go out. But I learnt there was a fight between Alfa and Messiah over the fuse money . Within a few minutes, it was over and everybody dispersed .

“ By morning , the man woke up , took his bath , drew water from the well , and prepared a meal which he ate. But around 12 noon, we observed that his door was ajar . I heard heavy breathing and rallied other tenants
to get him to a hospital .”

Another tenant said no one knew the victim was ill until a family member visited him. He noted that the relative raised the alarm , blaming the neighbours for
being uncaring . He said , “ After we settled the dispute between him and Alfa, everybody left for their apartments. They were both OK . Messiah was a painter and he rarely went out . We all saw him do his chores that morning ; nobody suspected anything until someone said he was breathing abnormally .

A relative who visited him around 12 noon queried us for not checking up on him.

“ We didn’t get a vehicle on time to convey him to a hospital . We later got one. The medical workers did not allow us to take him down from the vehicle before they said he was dead . Inasmuch as I find it difficult to
connect his death to the fight , some people said he might have had internal bleeding.”


PUNCH Metro gathered that the news of the death sent fear into the community, as many residents took to their heels . The prime suspect ,Raheem , who had gone to work, reportedly did not return to the house .
A female tenant said later that evening , the police arrived in the community in a bus.

“ They broke Alfa’ s apartment and took some things away . They also locked up the entire house after carrying away three generators . As I speak to you, most of the tenants are squatting with friends and family
members . We have nowhere to go ,” she said .

A senior police officer from the Ibafo division said it was a murder case , adding that it had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department , Eleweran , Abeokuta .

He urged the victim ’s neighbours to come forward and assist the police with information.

“ The suspect hit the man with a stick and he died. It is a murder case, ” he added.
The state Police Public Relations Officer , Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident.

He said , “ There was a fight between the two tenants on Monday and in the process, one of them died. All the tenants in the house fled ; nobody reported to the police . It was when the victim ’s relatives arrived from Lagos that they met his corpse in the house . That was how the police knew about it.

“ When we got there , we didn’ t see anybody ; the house was deserted . The police found two generators on the corridor and because it was not safe to leave them there , they decided to secure them by taking them to the
station. We have not seen any of the tenants since then .

The state Commissioner of Police, Ahmad Iliyasu , has ordered that the suspect be made to face the full wrath of the law . ”

Why is it that some people hate paying electricity bill yet they can buy fuel of some thousand naira for their generator

Alfa and messiah had a fight and alfa killed messiah what will messiah tell God when he gets to heaven? Abeg this messiah na disgrace to Christians worldwide

When angry be slow to act cause you might end up regretting your actions. If I may ask, why did the police have to lock up the whole house? Is it not the room of the suspect that's meant to be locked up? Did the generators they carried participate in the fight or are they witnesses? The way Nigerian police sometimes do their own investigation baffles me sha

Chai Nigerian police have started stealing generating sets. pack all the property frm the house too, thieves

Because it is easier defrauding the government than private business.

Na wao

Go and tell Lala and mynd
That I don't believe in Allah








Or any God

2 men fought just because of N60




What a waste

Wonder shall never cease.
Why always Ogun state for crying out loud!

Hmmmn! Are they now securing generators

This Buhari regime sef!

Thunder fire poverty. Must they share 600 Naira?

Police just assumed it is a murder case without autopsy

How much did i spend on valentine day,almost 20k and this idiot just killed someone because of 60 naira.so one person from that useless compound cannot buy that fuss,and they have to contribute 60 each.so if it is something of 50 naira they will contribute 5 naira each,can you now see that these people are mad idiots.
