A middle-aged man, simply identified as Dekunle, on Sunday
afternoon, killed his grandparents, Pa Busari Ogundeji, 140 and Madam
Olalonpe, 120, at N4/204, Yemetu, Adeoyo, Ibadan, Oyo State.
According
to an eyewitness, the entire neighbourhood was alerted to the happening
at the house when another old woman, identified simply as Iya Eleko,
who watched as Madam Olalonpe was being butchered, raised the alarm.
The
alarm from Iya Eleko drew the attention of residents, including Pa
Ogundeji, who, on getting to the scene, was overpowered by Dekunle and
was thereafter macheted to death.
“I’m one of those who helped
pack the corpses after the incident. Mama sustained several cuts on her
body. He also hit grandpa on the chest, head and leg. They could not
have survived the incident,” the eyewitness said.
Iya Eleko also
had her arm injured in the process, while the corpses had been deposited
at the mortuary of the state hospital, Yemetu, Ibadan.
Men of the
state police command from Yemetu divisional police station, after the
incident, arrested Dekunle, who was said to have also killed his parents
few years ago.
