A 33-year-old farmer, Azeez Kelani, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly hacking his colleague, David Adima, to death for stealing his crop.
It was learnt that Kelani had gone to Adima’s farm at Sojuolu village, Ibogun, in the Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state to steal some tubers of cassava.
PUNCH reports that Adima, who hailed from Benue State, caught the suspect in the act and raised the alarm.
The suspect, who was armed with a machete, reportedly resorted to force and eventually slit the man’s throat with the cutlass.
The victim was said to have bled to death.
The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, who paraded the suspect on Monday, August 28, at the state police command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, said the incident happened on August 13, 2017.
