Father
of five, Mumini Muritala, 40, who lived at Omilabu Area of Odinjo, was
reportedly beaten to death on Friday night, following a quarrel between
him and his landlord’s son, Yusuf Adegbayi, Sunday Tribune has learnt.
Wife
of the deceased, Mrs Shakirat Muritala, who spoke with Sunday Tribune
at a nearby hospital, said that she had just sent her daughter, Barakat,
out to buy her food, when the landlord’s sons, Yusuf and his brother,
Habeeb Adegbayi, locked the main door to the house around 9.pm, an
action which later caused uproar between her and the landlord’s sons.
“When my husband and daughter came back home, Yusuf and Habeeb went
inside their rooms, but my husband went to them to enquire why they
locked the door so quickly.
“This resulted in a heated argument
and Yusuf slapped my husband. My husband wanted to retaliate, but the
two boys pounced on him and beat him blue abd black.
“Later,
Yusuf came back and hit my husband with an occultic ring he said he
would use on him. Suddenly, my husband turned around and fell on the
ground. We rushed him to the hospital, but he later gave up,” the wife
said.
However, when the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of
Oyo State was contacted, he told Sunday Tribune that the suspect had
fled, but efforts were ongoing to nab him, while his father, the
landlord, was in police custody at the Idi Aro police station, from
where the case would be transferred to the State Criminial and
Intelligence Department for discrete investigation.
He, however, used the opportunity to warn those who would like to engage in criminal acts to desist henceforth.
