allegedly killing his friend who had accused him of an affair with his wife. According to The Punch, Jimoh, popularly known as Oyeolorun in the Mushin area of Lagos state was arrested after a fight between him and close friend, Remi Oloyede, aka Ora, resulted in Oloyede’s death. Oloyede’s ears were reportedly cut off as Jimoh also stabbed him in the neck and eyes during a fight on Adedoja Street, Mushin. Jimoh also sustained injuries, and after the incident was taken to a clinic but was later arrested by police officers from Alakara division. One of the residents of the area, who pleaded anonymity, said the men had been friends for a long time:“They were both living on this street before Oyeolorun relocated to Sango, Ogun State, where he is staying with his family. “But about three years ago, Oyeolorun allegedly had sexual relation with Ora’s wife and he was very angry about it. From that time, he started looking for a way to get back at him for betraying him. “To get even, he slept with Oyeolorun’s first wife, but Oyeolorun had already divorced the woman. Ora was still angry and seeking opportunity for a revenge.” Bunmi Osunde, another resident in the area, narrated how the friends started having serious clashes over minor issues, culminating in the argument over a handset that resulted in the death of the 40-year-old Oloyede. He stated that another resident had bought a handset from Oloyede for N1,500 but found it faulty upon trying to operate it. Jimoh was brought into the picture to intervene when his friend refused to refund the money. “Jimoh asked him to refund a part of the money if he could not return the whole sum, but he refused. He said even if anybody would talk to him, it could not be a man that slept with his wife,” Osunde said. The deceased reportedly broke a bottle, picked a splinter and extended another to the suspect, challenging him to a duel. Adewale Baloye, who is also a resident of the community said that people did not intervene because the pair were notorious for such fights.

I saw Ora (Oloyede) on the ground, in a pool of blood. His ears had been cut off and his eyes were gone. “I quickly called a community leader and I was informed that the police were on their way. People took Ora in a tricycle to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, but the doctors turned them back at the gate, saying it was too late. They just brought back his corpse to the area and from there he was taken to a mortuary. “The police then went to our local clinic, where Oyeolorun (Jimoh) was receiving treatment and arrested him.” Confirming the incident, the Lagos state police public relations officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said that investigations were ongoing. “The scene of the incident has been visited and the suspect arrested. The corpse was deposited at the Mainland Hospital morgue, Yaba. Investigations are ongoing,” she noted.
