Ogun: Butcher stabs rider for allegedly having affair with wife

The Ogun State Community, Social Orientation and Safety Corps has arrested a butcher and farmer, Ibrahim Ogunrinde, for stealing a motorcycle after stabbing the rider.
This was disclosed in a press release issued on Friday by Soji Ganzallo of the office of the state commander of the corps through its spokesperson, Moruf Yusuf.
According to Mr Yusuf, the 46-year-old suspect and resident of Adu Town, Ajebo Road, Mile 6, Abeokuta, was nabbed at Ijaye Garage, Abeokuta, on Thursday, June 6, 2024, at about 2:40 p.m.
He said the suspect “pretended to be a passenger and asked the victim, Kosu Daniel (aka “Jeje”), to take him to Olubo Town on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, at noon.”
Mr Yusuf said Mr Ogunrinde allegedly stabbed Mr Daniel in the neck and arm, after which he escaped with the rider’s motorcycle.
“The suspect confessed that he was motivated by a desire to eliminate the victim, who he believed had an affair with his wife two months prior.
“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 suspect and the recovered motorbike have been transferred to the Nigeria Police Force, SWAT, Magbon, for further investigation and likely prosecution,” he added.
Commending officers for arresting the suspect, Mr Yusuf stated that it would serve as a deterrent to other criminals in society.
