job had no idea that he wouldn't live to resume after he
confronted a neighbour and lost his life in the process.
Joseph Faminigba of the Owode Estate environs of Apata
in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, is said to have been
stabbed straight through the heart by one Sunday Delight
Ajayi, a neighbour.
46-year-old Ajayi allegedly pierced the tyres of his
neighbour's car leading to a disagreement between him
and Joseph which resulted in the latter losing his life.
The Tribune reports:
The pain that an hitherto unknown person had caused his
father unnecessary spending by regularly deflating their
vehicle tyres made Faminigba to ask his neighbour the
reason for his unjustified action, a step that turned drastic
as Ajayi drove a knife straight into the heart of the 28-
year-old man at Owode Estate area of Ibadan on February
19 at about 11p.m.
Unfortunately, the young man gave up the ghost on
Thursday, February 20, while being prepared for surgery.
The perpetrator was however arrested by the Apata
Division of Oyo State Police Command from where his
case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation
Department, Iyaganku, Ibadan, for further investigation.
The strange aspect of the story was that the suspect did not
express any regret on his deed, claiming that he acted in
self-defence.
When asked about what led to the death of the deceased,
he further explained, saying
"It was just a slight stab and I didn't expect it to have any
effect on him, not to talk of leading to his death. I don't
regret stabbing him because I was only defending myself."
Confirming the story, the spokesperson for Oyo State
Police Command, Olabisi Okuwobi-Ilobanafor, told Crime
Reports that the suspect was charged to court on Monday,
February 24 on a one-count of murder. He was remanded
in Agodi prison while the case was adjourned to March 22
for further hearing.
