Assassins murder union leader’s 14-year-old son in Akure

A teenager, Oluwaseyi Adelegan, 14, was
on Friday murdered by unknown assailants at his
father’s house in Akure. The deceased is the son of Chief Solomon
Adelegan, the National President, Amalgamated
Union of Public Corporation, Civil Service Technical
and Recreational Services. The Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO) in Ondo
State, Mr Wole Ogodo, confirmed the incident the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). “It is obvious the young boy was killed while
trying to move out of his bedroom to the sitting
room before he eventually gave up,’’ Ogodo said. Ogodo, who said that no arrest had been made,
said that the case had been transferred to the
Criminal Investigation Department (CID). According to him, the information surrounding
the death of the young boy is still sketchy, but I
assure you that police will get to the root of the
crime. NAN gathered that a group of suspected assassins
invaded the home of the Adelegans located at
Aduralere Quarters in Ijoka Area of Akure and
macheted the boy to death. According to a source, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, Oluwaseyi was found in a pool of his
blood in his parents’ house. The source said that deceased was hale and
hearty when his siblings left for holiday coaching
in the morning and he was the only person left in
the house. “The siblings were surprised to find the dead
body of their brother in the sitting room when
they returned from school. “The children raised alarm when they saw their
brother, but the young boy was stone dead before
their arrival,’’ the source added. Scores of sympathisers thronged the residence of
Adelegan to condole with him on the death of his
son. Efforts by NAN correspondent to speak with the
bereaved parents were not successful as they
were in shock over the mysteries surrounding the
death of their son. (NAN)
