While politicians who lost at the polls take their fate with magnanimity, a young man, 29-year-old Owolabi Adewale has beheaded his 99-year-old aunt, Madam Ebunola Aroboto, following accusation that she was responsible for his inability to win Baba Ijebu lottery.

The incident occurred yesterday in Maraisa Lane community, Igan Road, in Ago-Iwoye area of Ogun State.

Adewale was arrested on Monday, March 4, 2019, by detectives attached to Ogun State Police Command.

The suspect, according to the police, had admitted before homicide detectives that he killed the old woman because he had an inclination that the deceased bewitched him and was the cause of his impoverished state.

It was gathered that the suspect, who is a regular player of Baba Ijebu lotto, also alleged that each time he was at the verge of winning, the aged aunt would alter the numbers spiritually.

“Whenever I am sure of winning, the deceased who is my father’s elder sister will use her supernatural power to change the winning number,” said Adewale.

Spokesperson for Ogun State police command, Mr. Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the incident said the suspect was arrested following a distress call received by the DPO Ago-Iwoye Division, CSP Ade Adedoyin, that a man had butchered his aunty, one Ebunola Aroboto, to death at Maraisa Lane, Igan Road, Ago-Iwoye.

Oyeyemi said that the suspect allegedly chased the deceased round the compound with a machete.

“The suspect severed the head of the 99-year old lady with the cutlass,” Oyeyemi added.

Oyeyemi said the body of the deceased had been deposited at Ijebu-Ode general hospital mortuary for a post mortem.

He disclosed that the state police commissioner, Ahmed Iliyasu, had directed the deputy commissioner of Police State Criminal investigation and intelligence Department, DCP Wale Abass to take over the case.W
