The police in Ogun State have arrested a 37-year-old man, Kayode Olubunmi, for allegedly flogging his cousin to death on Christmas Day Punch Newspaper reported
Olubunmi was said to have allegedly
flogged 20-year-old Haruna Adeoye to death for eating up a bowl of
cooked rice earlier given to him (Olubunmi) by a friend.
Adeoye said to be an orphan was alleged
to have eaten the rice while Olubunmi was away from home – contrary to
his uncle’s earlier instruction that it should be reserved for dinner.

meting out corporal punishment to Adeoye, it resulted in his death.

Abeokuta, explained that the tragedy occurred last December 25 at

went on a visit to his friends’ place, came back drunk, he flogged
the deceased to death with a stick for eating the rice he instructed him
to keep for their dinner.
“Haruna was an orphan who had been staying with the suspect for years and Olubunmi could not state why he killed him.
“He (suspect) has confessed to the crime, he is with us at SCID Eleweran and will soon appear in court.”
