The police at Sango Ota, Ogun State, southwest Nigeria, have
arrested a cow following the killing of a 24-year old teenager
identified as Azeez Salako at Ilata area of Ota, a suburb of Ogun State.
We 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.
