Okada rider hacked to death in Kwara

A commercial motorcyclist, Bayo Ayelomo, has been killed in Oke Onigbin, Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State. 

It was gathered that late Bayo took a passenger to Owode Onire when he was hacked to death with a cutlass on his way home around 8pm on Monday along Owode Road.

The incident, however, sparked a protest on Tuesday by the angry youths of Oke-Onigbin who blocked the road leading to the local government secretariat. 

SPONSOR AD

Many road users and travellers avoided the route for fear of being attacked by the protesting youths. 

When contacted, the spokesman of the Kwara State Police Command, Ajayi Okasanmi, said normalcy had been restored in the area. 

He said an investigation had begun into the killing and assured the people of the local government of adequate protection.
