OMG this is extremely sad. May God deliver us from evil aides.Here is how Pm News is reporting it.
Abeokuta,
capital of Ogun state in western Nigeria has witnessed yet another
horror: the beheading of a 65- year old retired magistrate, Mrs
Olufunmilayo Timeyin by her domestic aide, simply identified as David.
The
tragedy happened at the Laderin Housing Estate, Kobape Road, barely 48
hours after an insane police corporal killed seven people and
subsequently committed suicide in the same Abeokuta.
A witness told journalists at the scene of the incident that it happened at about 4:00. p.m. in the deceased’s house.
According
to the News Agency of Nigeria, Timeyin, who retired as a senior
magistrate in the Ogun state judiciary, employed the domestic aide about
two months ago.
David
who hails from Benue, was said to have been sacked and arrested by the
police after he allegedly stole jewellery, mobile phones and some
electronic gadgets, from his boss.
He however, returned to the house Friday afternoon shortly after regaining freedom from police custody and jumped the fence.
He
was alleged to have deactivated the security alarm system in the house
and lurked in one corner, while an unsuspecting Timeyin returned from an
outing.
The
witness said Timeyin packed her blue Toyota Camry car– marked Lagos KIA
141 BU– outside the house, apparently planning to go out again.
The source said that the domestic aide attacked Timeyin with a machete immediately she opened her gate.
Timeyin’s
son, identified as Olumide, who arrived the house with his mother,
raised an alarm that a thief was inside his mother’s house.
But,
by the time neighbours came round, the retired magistrate had been
beheaded and his assailant and househelp had escaped into the bush.
The suspect was, however, arrested by residents of the area and handed over to the police.
The
Chief Judge of Ogun state, Justice Olatokunbo Olopade, and the
Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftain Affairs, Chief Muyiwa
Oladipo, were part of important dignitaries who had visited the home of
the deceased as at 8:00 p.m. on Friday.
Though the state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, could not be reached for comments, policemen from Kemta division of Abeokuta were at the scene as the body was being moved to the morgue at about 8:00 p.m.
