In Ota, a notorious thug fatally stabs a brick moulder over a N200 dispute.
After a furious dispute over N200 at a block factory in Ota, Ogun State, a renowned gangster known as “Aboy” fatally slashed 23-year-old brick moulder Isreal Ayomide.
Isreal Ayomide, a brick moulder from Ogun, was fatally stabbed by a suspected thug named Aboy during a heated altercation over N200 at a block factory in the state’s Ota district.
The incident occurred early on April 1 at Ori-Ade Block, along Alaka Road, beneath the power line in the Rosiji neighbourhood of the Ewupe community.
According to one of the sources, who went by the name Moyo, the fight barely lasted a few minutes before it became deadly. “The altercation lasted just a few minutes before Aboy pinned Ayomide down and stabbed him. He died before members of the community could rush him to the hospital,”
Daniel, another resident, claimed that rather than pursuing the perpetrator, the Onipanu Police Division detained community members who reported the crime.
“He (the suspect) is known for attacking people with bottles, especially during disputes. I think he acts that way because his mother was once a police officer.
“The police at Onipanu even detained people who went to report the incident. Instead of launching a manhunt to apprehend the suspect before he fled the community, they focused on the community leaders who reported the case. They were only granted bail the next day,” Daniel alleged.
At that point, Aboy asked Ayomide for N200, but Ayomide refused. They got into a fight when Ayomide refused to give him the money.
“During the argument, my son reminded him that I intended to send him away that day, and that was how the fight started.
“In the course of the fight, Ayomide fell, giving Aboy the opportunity to grab a bottle and stab him. Before anyone could intervene, he had fled. My son was rushed to a nearby health centre, but he was confirmed dead.”
“There is a football field nearby, and beside my shop, Ayomide operates a car wash with a snooker board and table tennis, which attracts young boys to the area,” the grieving father explained, explaining why the suspect frequently visited the area.
On the day of the incident, the police went to the landlord and detained about six neighborhood store owners since they were crucial witnesses.
“On April 4, people from their community came to beg us to bury the dead while they looked for Aboy.”
“They acknowledged that their son was the one who stabbed my child when we questioned them about it. They have been conducting meetings in the area ever since.
A senior police officer in the area confirmed the incident. They dismissed claims that the police were shielding the suspect because of his mother’s background.
The officer stated, “It is true that the suspect’s mother was a police officer, but she has since retired. She was a junior officer while in service. “The suspect is a 23-year-old man. When officers from Onipanu met his mother for a statement, she said he should be arrested wherever he is found.
The officer also stated that “Every effort is being made to secure the suspect’s apprehension. Even though investigations sometimes take a while, justice will ultimately be done.
