The 73-year-old Chief Executive Officer of MAF 44 Gardens and
Event centre, Arigbajo, Ogun State was stabbed on the vein in his left elbow, by the
assailants before fleeing the
scene.
It was gathered that the room where he was murdered was like a slaughter slab, as the bed-sheets, pillows, rug and the tiles were stained with blood, an indication that he battled with the attackers.
There were, however, two sides to the story. While some claimed it was a robbery incident that went haywire, others said it was a case of assassination, as the assailants came with the mindset of killing him, The Guardian reports.

The wife, Mrs Opeyemi Akintanmide Famuyiwa, who was with him when the
incident happened, narrated to The Guardian that the murderers,
numbering three invaded the house around 5:00a.m. when the guards had
left their post.
They immediately entered the room through the window and went straight for the deceased who was on the bed with her. She disclosed that they pounced on him, but he struggled with them for long. They later over-powered him and used a broken bottle nearby to stab him on the elbow vein, where he bled profusely, noting that they took their time to ensure he wasted much blood before they left the scene.
Meanwhile, men of the Nigerian Police Force, Ewekoro Command, led by their Divisional Police Officer (DPO) and an official of the Directorate of Security Services (DSS) later recovered the empty stolen bag.
The DPO who confirmed that the stolen bag was recovered, said the deceased’s wife will be taken to their station for further interrogation, as she cannot immediately give them any information because of the trauma of the incident.

"Immediately they left, I tied cloth around the wound to stop the blood, before I shouted for help. They didn’t go with any of his belongings; they only went with my phone and handbag, containing my identity card, driver’s licence, two Automated Teller Machine cards (ATMs) and other valuables.One of his sons, Segun Famuyiwa, told The Guardian that immediately his mother raised the alarm, which they heard in the main house, he rushed down to the scene and took him to a private hospital in Ifo, as he was still breathing at that time, but he was rejected. It was while he was being taken to another hospital that he gave up the ghost.
“They didn’t touch his expensive phone lying beside him. God should expose the killers, they must not go free,” she pleaded.

“We are going to beef up security around here, more men would be brought in, to patrol this area".
What a brave man wen he was struggling with them y didn't d wife raise alarm to alert people
ReplyDeleteNa wa o! Wetin 73 year old man do dem again?
ReplyDeletewhy would these people go and kill a man in his 70s? what do they want to get from the

man, he is already retired so it is obvious that he doesn't have money to waste.
Was the wife tied to a stake while she watched her husband struggling with them? Why would she not sneak out and called their sons/children in the same building? I cannot understand this scenario. Strangers invaded a home, went straight to where husband and wife are lying together on bed. Pounced on her husband and she never raised alarm but kept watching the drama. BULSHIT! Let the police get her to tell the public more. 'That she was tied at a stake' and thats why she could not make noise. The assassins were not armed with a gun, but found a bottle in their room. Something 'more-than-meet-the-eye'. Abegi!
ReplyDelete5 men came in,do you not think one must atleast have secured the wife.They should look closely at anyone he had dealings with that had medical background i.e a doctor.
DeleteThe fact that they stabbed him on the elbow vein and waited till he had bled considerably before leaving implies someone with some amount of medical knowledge was involved.They also didn't want to alert anyone to their presence hence the broken bottle so they may be known to people around.
It is so easy to assume this when you were not there
DeleteMay God forgive you
oh my God....y do hospitals reject emergency cases....ds is sooo sad...he could have been patched up and saved with immediate help..
ReplyDeleteso sorry for ur loss ma..may God fish out ds ppl
Any hospital that rejects emergency cases instead of giving immediate first aid should be closed down immediately
DeleteHow sad.
