Wednesday, June 12, 2024 -26-year-old security guard, Muhammed Abubakar, employed by a businessman (name withheld) in a building in the Ajaka area of Sagamu has allegedly killed an unidentified man over allegations that he attempted to steal Abubakar’s phone.
According to Punch,the fatal injury occurred when the suspect
struck the crown of the victim’s head with a large plank. A source who spoke on
condition of anonymity said a terrifying noise was heard from Abubakar’s post
which prompted residents to report the incident to the Sagamu Police Division
after suspecting foul play. According to the source, the division promptly
responded to the distress call and dispatched Inspector Ojo Alasofe to
accompany the residents to the scene for an investigation.
“We suspected something was wrong when we heard the noise. One
resident was sent to the division to report the matter. The residents returned
with a police officer. But when they got to the scene, they saw the deceased in
the pool of his blood, gasping for breath.
The security guard was standing right beside him. When he was
asked what happened, he said he was using his phone when the deceased suddenly
appeared and snatched his phone from him. He said he gave him a hot chase and
was nabbed with the help of another security guard, who grabbed the deceased
from behind,” the source said.
The security guard was dragging the now-deceased suspect to his post, and a
scuffle broke out between them which reportedly angered Abubakar, who then
picked up a large stick and struck the deceased man on the head. As a result,
blood began gushing from the deceased’s head after he screamed, drawing the
attention of passersby who then called the police for help.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the command, Omolola
Odutola, said Abubakar had disappeared having suspected that the victim had
died in the hospital where they rushed him for treatment following the
incident.
“The victim was taken to a hospital called Live Well Hospital in
Ajaka, Sagamu, for treatment but was unfortunately declared dead by a doctor on
duty at about 9 p.m. on Monday. His corpse has been deposited at the Olabisi
Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital in Sagamu for presentation and
identification. Meanwhile, Abubakar has absconded. Our men are working round
the clock to have him apprehended.” he said
