Two herbalists, identified as, Quadri and Adam have been
arrested by Ogun State Police Command for allegedly stabbing a man, Wasiu
Balogun, and his friend, Wale Aderinto, to death in the Agbado area of the
state.
The herbalists, who are siblings, allegedly attacked Wasiu
and his friend with knives for confronting them after they allegedly stripped
Wasiu’s wife, Mutiat.
On the day, a teenage girl, Kabirat, who is the younger
sister of the herbalists, had come to Mutiat’s house, and the woman had scolded
her for failing to greet the people she (Kabirat) met in the house. Kabirat was
said to have left the place in anger.
It was gathered that Adam and Quadri, came some minutes
later to Mutiat’s house, and started a quarrel, during which they allegedly
stripped the woman and beat her up.
Thirty-eight-year-old Wasiu, who worked as a vulcaniser, and
his friend, Aderinto, a welder, reportedly came back from their workplaces in
the Ebute-Meta area of Lagos State, and met distraught Mutiat at home. The two
were said to have headed for the herbalists’ house after they were told of what
transpired between Mutiat and the herbalists. On getting to house, the issue
went out of hand, which led to the herbalists stabbing Wasiu and Aderinto to
death.
It was learnt that the neighbours reported the incident at
the Agbado Police Division. The herbalists were subsequently arrested and
detained.
The Ogun State acting Police Public Relations Officer, ASP
Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the arrest. He added that investigation was ongoing
into the matter at the state command headquarters, Abeokuta.
