A 46-year-old farmer, Olubusayo Sunday, beheaded his wife and
daughter, before taking his own life Wednesday in Onigbedu
town in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State, police
said.
While confirming the incident on Thursday, the Ogun State
Police Command said the incident has been traced to a dispute
between the man and his late wife.
Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said
investigations are ongoing.
“The man beheaded his wife and daughter in his Onigbedu
house, and committed suicide by stabbing and setting himself
ablaze after the ugly incident at about 1315hrs,” Mr. Adejobi
said.
He said the man’s attempt to commit suicide was noticed
when he stabbed himself and wanted to jump into a well
near his house having set fire on himself. He was prevented
and rescued by neighbours who later realized he had
murdered his family.
The Command spokesman said after the rescue, the man
was rushed to hospital where died.
Mr. Adejobi said statements made by the man before he died
suggested there was a quarrel between the man and his wife,
Oyewole Sunday, 40. Their daughter was three years old , police
said.
The police added that a knife and one blood-stained cutlass,
suspected to have been the murder weapons, were
recovered from the house.
“The Commissioner of Police Ogun State, Ikemefuna Okoye,
was taken aback when he received the report of the ugly
incident and has directed that the matter be transferred to the
department of criminal investigation Eleweran, Abeokuta for
thorough investigation,” Mr. Adejobi said.
