Just in: Ogun farmer shoots two dead, threatens to kill eight others



Pandemonium broke out last Wednesday in Iwoye-Yewa in the Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State, following the alleged killing of two prominent members of the community by a middle-aged farmer, Oladosu Nureni.

PUNCH METRO learnt that the suspect reportedly shot dead one Ajayi Onifade, who was the Amuludun of Iwoye land, and Olatunji Ayinla, a prominent hunter in the community.



It was gathered that the incidents had thrown the sleepy and agrarian town into mourning.

A resident of the community, who craved anonymity, told PUNCH Metro that Nureni, whose house is a stone’s throw from the late Onifade’s house, shot the victim at close range while mounting his motorcycle to go to the farm.

The source added that Ayinla was also allegedly shot by Nureni and died on the spot during a manhunt for the suspect.

According to the source, Onifade gave up the ghost on Friday at the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, where he was taken to for treatment.

The suspect, as of the time of filing this report, was said to be prowling the town and threatening to kill eight more people if they attempted to apprehend him.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incidents.

Oyeyemi said the suspect was believed to be suffering from a mental disorder.

He said the suspect shot his neighbour dead and ran away.



The PPRO stated, “The suspect ran away after he shot one of his neighbours. And in the course of being arrested by some hunters, he shot another one dead and escaped.

“A manhunt has been launched for him and we will surely apprehend and prosecute him.”

Punch has the rest story.
