Mumini Muritala, 40, who was a father of five, was beaten black
and blue and then killed with an occult item over a dispute with his
landlord’s son.
A forty-year old father of five, who lived at Omilabu area of Odinjo,
was reportedly beaten black and blue on Friday night by landlord’s son
and then killed with an occult ring.
Shakirat Muritala, the widow of the deceased man, told the press that
before the incident her husband had a quarrel with the lanlord’s son,
Ysuf Adegbayi, and his brother Habeeb because they locked the door too
early.
“When my husband and daughter came back home, Yusuf and Habeeb
went inside their rooms, but my husband went to them to enquire why they
locked the door so quickly,” told Shakirat, adding that “this
resulted in a heated argument and Yusuf slapped my husband, my husband
wanted to retaliate, but the two boys pounced on him and beat him black
and blue.”
The wife of the deceased told that Ysuf later came back and hit her
husband with an occult ring, telling he would use it on him. “Suddenly, my husband turned around and fell on the ground,” Mumini’s wife said. “We rushed him to the hospital, but he later gave up.”
The police told that a suspect for murder is still at large, while
his father, the landlord, was in police custody at the Idi Aro police
station.
