Tragic! See Unbelievable Reason why a Landlady Invited Soldiers to Beat Tenant to Death| Wife Seeks Justice
Military officers attached to the 174 battalion in Ogijo, Ogun state, were accused of beating a man, Adeola Oyekan, to death and dumping his corpse on the road.
According to Twitter user, Kenny Abel Adesanya, who raised the alarm yesterday, the military officers allegedly beat the man to death at Ogijo area of Ikorodu, Lagos. The men reportedly left the corpse on the road and disappeared.
“174 battalion military officers beat this man to death in Ogijo, his corpse is lying on the street right now. retweet for justice,” Adesanya wrote.
Shedding more light on the incident, an eyewitness told Punch that the incident happened at 10, Prince Jamiu Oyebade Street, Ogijo, when the deceased’s landlady invited the military after a misunderstanding over two-month rent arrears the victim owed.
On arriving at the house, the soldiers manhandled and brutalised the 40-year-old man, landing him at Pillars Hospital, Ogijo.
”The beating happened last week. It was the landlady of the victim that invited the military from 174 Battalion just because of little misunderstanding.
The victim has been in the hospital since that last week before he finally gave up yesterday night. His family brought his body, dumped it at the front of the house for the landlady.”
However, wife of the deceased who died from injuries he sustained from the assault, Glory Fagbayide, spoke to Punch on the telephone on Saturday, saying,
”I want justice. The four soldiers that beat my husband, our landlady and his son must all end up in jail. My husband and I just married September 2016.”
It was also gathered that the witness said the landlady has been arrested by the police.
