27-Yr-Old Killed By Friend Over Mobile Phone

A 27-year-old man was killed by his friend, weekend, over the
ownership of a mobile phone charger.
The tragedy occurred at Isapodo area of Ijebu-Ife, in Ijebu North-East
Local Government Area of Ogun State on Sunday.
The victim, Mr Dele Oje, described as an easy going person by his
neighbours, was said to have been allegedly killed by his friend,
simply identified as Muyideen after the latter requested for a phone
charger from the former.
Investigations revealed that Oje had earlier argued with his friend
over who owned the charger minutes before he was killed.
Shortly before his death, an argument had ensued between the duo,
prompting neighbours in the two storey building to intervene.
Unfortunately, the neighbors had barely left the scene of the
argument, when Dele's friend descended on him as the deceased
attempted to have his breakfast and slashed his throat with a sharp
object.
A neighbour of the deceased who did not want to be named, narrated
what she described as an unfortunate incident, said: "We had earlier
settled a seeming quarrel between the friends over the ownership of a
telephone charger when Muyideen killed his friend''.
'We got there later only to see blood stains on the wall and floor of
the building, an indication that Oje had attempted to escape from his
assailant''.
Another resident who identified himself as Abayomi Oyeyemi also said
that after the murder, Muyideen fled only to be fished out in a
near-by bush, three hours after.
The body has been deposited at the Ijebu-Ode General Hospital mortuary
while Muyideen who was arrested by the youths in the community had
been handed over to police at the Ogbere division.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi,
who said he was yet to be briefed by the Ogbere Divisional Police
Officer, added that he did not have details of the incident.
