A four-year old boy, Joseph Sunday Akpan, has been
reportedly killed by his father's landlord, even as the victim's mother escaped
death by the whiskers.
The assailant, Sunday Omosule, currently in police custody,
was said to have suddenly gone beserk, chasing occupants of the building with
pestle.
The sad incident, which took place at No 23, Adeoye Street,
Oko Baale in the Onipanu area of Otta, Ogun State, claimed the life of the
innocent boy, who had his head smashed with a pestle.
But for divine intervention, it would have been double
casualties for the Akpan's as the late boy's mother also tasted from the
hostility of the rampaging landlord.
According to a press statement by the state Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO), "The mother of the deceased, who also sustained
injuries, had been taken to the hospital, where she was responding to treatment
It was gathered that, following the ugly incident, a
distress call was made to the police at Onipanu Divisional headquarters, and
the Divisional Police Officer, (DPO), SP Sangobiyi Johnson led his operatives
to the scene and apprehended the suspect.
The PPRO, said "On interrogation, the suspect claimed
to be under spiritual attacks, which always influenced him to behave
erratically sometimes".
Oyeyemi, who described the boy's death as unfortunate,
disclosed that the corpse of the victim had been deposited at the Otta State
Hospital mortuary for autopsy, adding that the state Commissioner of Police, CP
Ahmed Iliyasu, had ordered that the suspect be transferred to the Homicide
Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID)
for further investigation.
Oga Landlord should go chase criminals in prison.
They will surely cure him of the spirit instata!
