Ogun State Police Command has paraded an Okada rider, Olanrewaju Adeyinka for killing his step-brother, Gabriel Adeyinka over placement of parrot.
Olanrewaju, 40, who was paraded along with other criminals told our reporter after being paraded by the Commissioner of Police, CP Kenneth Ebrimson that he did not intentionally killed his brother over the placement of the parrot but that Gabriel was the first to start the quarrel which he tried to avoid because he just came back from work.
“My brother came home with this cage of parrot and put it on the table in the sitting room, so I told him not to put it on the table that he should keep it somewhere else instead he picked a quarrel with me.
“People around us interfered that i should leave him, may be he is drunk, so I went to my room because I just came back from work, while I was trying to sleep, he started hitting and throwing chair, planks on my window which broke the puffers, still I did not do anything until when I decided to go upstairs to report to our older ones that our path crossed and we started fighting again,” he narrated.
Another interesting suspect was 36 years old Afeez Raimi who was arrested with 143 live cartridges inside a bag of rice on bike at Imeko Afon.
Afeez, in his defence claimed he was in his tarmac relaxing when a man worked up to him and asked him to take him somewhere and that he told him he could not, but that if he could ride, he should take the key and ride, while he would sit on the back seat.
He also claimed that when they got to a police check point, the man bolted on a bike when he discovered that they were about to be caught.
