About four weeks ago, Deolu Olatoye was naming his second child, little did he know that he was breathing his last days on earth.
More surprising it would have been for Deolu that two of the so-called friends that were helping him organise the naming ceremony would end his life so abruptly. Deolu was reportedly stabbed severally in all parts of his body recently by two friends and close confidants identified as Yusuf and Mukalila.
Deolu. 32, was a father of two kids before he was hatched to death in the room of one of his friends at Oke-Efon, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. Investigations revealed that Yusuf, one of Deolu’s two friends, had been suspecting that he was having an amorous affair with his wife, identified as Busayo, and did not hid his disdain for the deceased. Strangely, Yusuf never for one day confronted the deceased on the charge but continued to nurse the animosity against him.
It was on account of this accusation that Yusuf and Mukaila allegedly connived to sniff life out of their friend, Deolu. Eyewitnesses say that on the fateful day that he would be hatched to death, Deolu was putting finishing touches to the forth-coming birthday celebration of his aged mother. He was reportedly saddled with getting people invited for the birthday bash. That he was doing until he met his untimely death.
It was reported that on the day he would be killed, Deolu returned from his mother’s house and just told his own wife that he wanted to see his two friends, Mukaila and Yusuf. It was reported that Deolu checked Mukaila at home, but the latter’s wife informed him her husband and their third friend had gone out.
So, after Deolu dropped Mukaila’s invite, he reportedly headed for Yusuf’s house where he met the latter’s wife at home. It was reported that while Deolu was coming down the stairs of Yusuf’s house, the two friends were also coming in and they asked that their departing friend returned upstairs.
Deolu reportedly heeded his friend’s request and when they were all at Yusuf’s room, the two friends subjected the deceased to beating, using a knife all over his body. Once they were satisfied with their action, Mukaila and Yusuf reportedly left the house. An eyewitness account claimed that the two suspected cultists headed for a police station nearby to report the matter. But while there, they reported to law enforcements of a disagreement with a friend which left the latter injured.
Upon hearing their story, it was reported that law enforcement agents asked that Mukaila returned home to take the injured friend to the hospital. That was the last they saw of Mukaila, as he took to this heels. A neighbour, indentified as Mama Ibukun told reporters that the deceased struggled with life until he gave up the ghost. According to the fashion designer, “The noise coming from the man (Yusuf)’s room alerted a lot of people in the neighbourhood, but since such cries was a recurring decimal there, no one really bothered to enquire what the noise was about.
It was later we heard that the noise was that of Brother Deolu who we all know as a friend to the man living in that room,” she said. Yusuf’s wife, who was suspected to be having an amorous affair with the deceased, upon interrogation informed law enforcement agents that she was actually close with the deceased. The woman claimed that she and the deceased used to work together before but denied having an affair with him.
The woman was quoted as saying, “It was strange and surprising to hear that I was dating brother Deolu. I had been known to him now for long and my husband even knows that we used to work together. But to hear that it was because of me that they did what they did to him was unbelievable.
There was no such a time the man even asked me out to start with,” the woman reportedly told law enforcement agents. Muyiwa Odejobi, Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer, could not be immediately reached on phone, but a senior police officer at state CID, Eleweran, confirmed that arrest of Yusuf and claimed that investigations were still ongoing on the matter.
