Barely 24 hours
after a policeman killed wife, five others and self in Abeokuta, a-65-year-old
retired Chief magistrate, Olufunmilayo Timeyin, was slaughtered by
a house help at her residence in Laderin estate in Obafemi-Owode
local government area of Ogun State.
The
25-year-old house help simply identified as David allegedly
scaled the fence of the late Timeyin’s bungalow, deactivated
the security system inside the building and laid siege within the
premises before hacking the retired magistrates to death.
David, an
Igede, Benue state-born was reportedly employed two months ago and sent
packing two weeks ago for allegedly stealing his boss
valuables including phones and jewelries which led to his arrest
and subsequently release on the boss order.
Vanguard
gathered that David, after killing his former boss, he
scaled the fence back into the bush behind the house where he hid himself to
avoid being caught.
It
was further gathered that one of the sons of the late
Chief Magistrate, Olumide ,who had earlier knocked on the gates and heard the
desperate cries of his mum raised alarm and residents in-turn
alerted the men of the Ogun State Vigilance Service.
One of the VSO
men who raced to the scene, Oluseye Fasina attached to Operation Two, Laderin
Unit told our correspondent that he immediately ran to the back of the house
where he met David who had pulled off his clothes inside the bush and arrested
him.
The Policemen
waited endlessly to get an ambulance to take the corpse of the retired
magistrate to the mortuary but, could not get any from the state.
The corpse was
later taken away to the mortuary by a private Mazda Space bus with registration
number Ogun AV 106 AAB at about 7:14pm.
The Chief of
Ogun State, Justice Olatokunbo Olopade and the state Commissioner for Local
Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Basorun Muyiwa Oladipo were amongst the
sympathisers who visited the late retired Chief Magistrate’s residence.
Policemen from
Kemta Idi-aba and Ibara cordoned off the area while detectives searched for
evidence of the crime inside the house. Journalists were barred from the house.
When contacted,
the Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi said he had yet to be
briefed on the incident.
