The police at Sango Ota, Ogun State, southwest Nigeria, have
arrested a cow following the killing of a 24-year old man identified as Azeez
Salako at Ilata area of Ota, a suburb of Ogun State.
P.M.NEWS gathered that youths in Ilata
Ota were planning to hold a carnival on Saturday 27 April, 2013 and there was
an argument between some of the youths which led to a fight and one of the boys
identified as Dayo broke a bottle which he used to stab Salako in the neck and
he bled to death.
When the police arrived at the scene of the fracas everyone had
fled leaving behind the cow bought for slaughter during the carnival and the
police arrested the cow and took it to the station where it is currently being
detained. When P.M.NEWS visited Sango Area Command where the
incident was reported, both the Area Commander ACP Titi Kayode and the
Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of Sango Division CSP Dibie were not
available for comment. However, a source at the station who confirmed the
incident on condition of anonymity said the suspected killer is on the run as
no arrest has been made.
“Both the Area Commander and the DPO are not around now. We are
still investigating the matter as no arrest has been made. The person who was
alleged to have stabbed the deceased is on the run. It is only the cow the
youths wanted to use for the carnival that was brought from the scene,” said
the source.
