Ibrahim Ogunrinde, a 46-year-old farmer and butcher, has been detained by the Ogun State Community, Social Orientation, and Safety Corps (So-Safe Corps) for allegedly stabbing a motorcyclist named Kosu Daniel.
According to a statement from Corps spokesperson Moruf Yusuf, the arrest took place on Thursday around 2:30 pm. Ogunrinde, who resides in Adu Town, Ajebo Road, Mile 6, Abeokuta, was apprehended at the Ijaye garage.
Reports indicate that Ogunrinde fled the scene with the victim’s motorbike after the stabbing incident.
He said, “Ibrahim Ogunrinde, a butcher and farmer, had pretended to be a passenger and asked the victim, Kosu Daniel (aka Jeje), to take him to Olubo town on Wednesday, July 5, 2024, at noon.
He then allegedly stabbed Kosu Daniel in the neck and arm, leaving him in a pool of blood, and escaped with the victim’s motorbike.”
The suspect allegedly said during questioning that he intended to murder the victim because he thought she had an affair with his wife two months earlier.
“He believed he had succeeded in killing the victim, not knowing that Kosu Daniel was rushed to the hospital and is currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta,” the statement added.
The suspect and the motorbike have been sent to the Nigeria Police Force, SWAT, Magbon, in the meantime, in anticipation of more inquiry and possible legal action.
