Two herbalists, simply identified simply as Quadri and Adam, have been arrested by the police.
The were arrested by the police in Ogun State for allegedly
stabbing a man, Wasiu Balogun, and his friend, Wale Aderinto, to death
in the Agbado area of the state.
According to punch Metro, the herbalists, who are siblings,
allegedly attacked Wasiu and his friend with knives for confronting them
after they allegedly stripped Wasiu’s wife, Mutiat, n*ked in public.
It was gathered that the incident occurred at about 7pm on Owonikoko Street last Tuesday.
Punch Metro reports that on the day, a teenage girl, Kabirat, who
is the younger sister of the herbalists, had come to Mutiat’s house, and
the woman had scolded her for failing to greet the people she (Kabirat)
met in the house.
Kabirat was said to have left the place in anger.
It was gathered that Adam and Quadri, came some minutes later to
Mutiat’s house, and started a quarrel, during which they allegedly
stripped the woman and beat her up.
According to Punch Metro, neighbours tried to mediate, but the
herbalists allegedly threatened to beat anyone, who intervened, with
charms.
Thirty-eight-year-old Wasiu, who worked as a vulcaniser, and his
friend, Aderinto, a welder, reportedly came back from their workplaces
in the Ebute-Meta area of Lagos State, and met distraught Mutiat at
home.
The two were said to have headed for the herbalists’ house after
they were told of what transpired between Mutiat and the herbalists.
It was gathered that on getting to the house, matters degenerated,
which led to the herbalists stabbing Wasiu and Aderinto to death.
It was learnt that the neighbours reported the incident at the Agbado Police Division.
The herbalists were subsequently arrested and detained.
When the area was visited on Monday, Mutiat said everybody scolded
Kabirat for failing to greet anyone, but she went to her house to tell
her brothers another story.
Mutiat added that the suspects stabbed Wasiu and his friend to death with poisonous knives.
She said, “There was no fight on that Tuesday. The girl came to our house and ignored everybody. People in the house scolded her for it.
“When the girl left, her brothers came some minutes later. They
are herbalists. Their father is also a native doctor. They came with
charms and knives. They beat me up. They stripped me. Neighbours tried
to restrain them, but they threatened them.
“When my husband and his friend came back from work, he was
angry and he went to their house. They attacked him and his friend with
knives. They were both stabbed to death.”
There was no one to talk to Punch Metro at the herbalists’
apartment as both suspects had been moved from the Agbado division to
the Ogun State Police Command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.
The teenage girl, Kabirat, had also reportedly fled the area.
A neighbour, identified only as Olumide, said the suspects were notorious in the area for violence.
He said, “The suspects’ family worships Osanyin. They were
involved in a similar violence sometime last year, but they were
pardoned. The man and his friend had gone to talk to them for
manhandling his wife.
“The herbalists first attacked the friend, and when Wasiu held
them, they stabbed him too. It was one of us who reported the matter at
the police station. Wasiu had five children from his first wife, but I
don’t know how many children Mutiat has for him.”
The Ogun State acting Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the arrest.
He added that investigation was ongoing into the matter at the state command headquarters, Abeokuta.
