The incident occurred in Ilesa a week ago after the 25-year-old man identified as Ebenezer, allegedly stole two ears of corn from Ajibade’s farm.
The spokesperson of the command, Abiodun Ojelabi, who confirmed the arrest in a statement said investigation had commenced into the matter.
Ojelabi also disclosed that the victim's father d!ed of shock after some people informed him that his son had d!ed of poisoning after being caught stealing.
In a short video posted by Osun journalist Isaac Haastrup, the chief was seen holding a cutlass and later forcing the young man to drink from a cup containing the poisonous substance.
“After he was forced to drink the substance, Chief Ajibade left him to go. We quickly rushed the boy to Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa where doctors eventually neutralise the effect of the poison,” a source told the punch.
"But when all that was going on, someone went to the house of the father of the victim and told him that his son had been poisoned for stealing corn and died. The man was seized by shock.
“He eventually d!ed. But the boy that drank poison is alive and stable. Police have arrested the suspect in his hometown in Ipetu Ijesa and moved him to Osogbo for further investigations."
Giving more clarification about the incident, the PPRO, during a chat with the publication, identified the suspect as Chief Ajibade, aged 62 years.
Punch
What nonsense.😡
ReplyDeleteTheft is annoying but this was uncalled for. These kinds of criminals should be doing community service, cleaning up the streets and gutters, painting police stations, fixing roads and making signs. They can still find use for them, why try to kill him and now you will be in prison for attempted murder.
ReplyDeleteNa waooh
ReplyDeleteThat man is wicked ooh, for just two corns? For someone he knows
He is a bully sha
And grew with it
Now stealing of any form is wicked too
They have no heart and can wreck someone’s hard work
So not holding a case for the thief here
Just that I believe the resulting punishment should be tantamount to the offense committed
I mean, it’s just two ears of corn
Not like he’s a herdsman that levelled his field
Then by all means, kill them and kill then slowly at that
He wouldn't dare go near herdsmen , na the person he fit exercise his stupid power on be this. I pray justice is served on this case
DeleteSo he took the law into his hands.
ReplyDeleteForced a human being to drink poison.
All because he stole corns from his farm?
No one could talk to him or stop him?
If this wickedness goes unpunished and proper judgement isn't mete unto this guy,Poison would finish him and his generation.
His action was extreme. He should have cautioned him or better still, hand him over to the police.
ReplyDeleteIf the young man had died, he would be charged for murder
Make we dey use our head nau. Make e no be because of corn you come kpai person..
Men like these should be severely dealt with by the authorities.
ReplyDeleteWhat a Nonsense.
Dodo.
Some people steal out of hunger, poisoning someone because of two ears of corn is too extreme.
ReplyDeleteHe should have handed him over to the police or authority, his approach was gross...
ReplyDeleteTheives don't deserve pity, but this is pure wickedness
ReplyDeleteHe should rot in jail
This man is just plain EVIL!!
ReplyDeleteCorn
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhh
Hello iya Boys
Such wickedness 😌😌😌
ReplyDeleteEiii,poison??? What is happening these days? 😱
ReplyDeleteStealing is very bad. A 25yrs old man stole corn, he could not go and hustle, do labour or menial job to feed himself.
ReplyDeleteIt starts with corn, then he will graduate to carrying guns to rob.
The chief should have just handed him over to the police.
Ajibade turned Ajirewon with immediate effects. Wicked human.
ReplyDeleteThat idiot that went to announce the news should be arrested too, why are people so quick to deliver bad news!
ReplyDeleteThis is pure wickedness!
ReplyDeleteHaha!!
Because of corn
Did the person die?
ReplyDeleteSkit
Great Nigerian youth stealing the produce of an elderly person. Now his father is dead, his family name sullied and his children will grow to hear of their father's role in killing their grandfather when they grow up.
ReplyDeleteHad this lazy youth cultivated his father's farm 4 months ago, he would be giving out corn or joining hands with this farmer to prevent petty thieves like himself from taking from the labour of others.
The farmer will pay some compensation but that boy will be the problem of another city, likely Lagos because his reputation precedes him in that town.
