Naija News gathered that the Fulani man, whose name is yet to be known, wanted to board a vehicle at the motor park, but his friend identified as Usman Olaniyi allegedly told the suspect in Hausa that the deceased was abusing him in Yoruba.

According to a source, “Immediately Usman communicated with him in Hausa, he (Fulani man) brought out a knife and started chasing Victor at the park. When he caught up with him, he stabbed him in the neck. We initially thought they were playing. But suddenly, we saw him (Victor) on the ground in a pool of blood.”

The source said immediately the Victor was stabbed, the Fulani man fled and his whereabouts had been unknown, adding that the Olaniyi was arrested.

The state Public Relations Officer, Mr. Femi Joseph, confirmed the incident and Olaniyi’s arrest, saying Olaniyi incited the killer to stab the victim.

“With what we gathered, it was clear that Olaniyi incited the killer to stab the victim and we have arrested him. We are still looking for the Fulani man that carried out the dastardly act. But if we don’t find him, that means only Olaniyi would be charged to court,” he said.

The family of the decease has called on the Ondo State Government and the state police command to ensure that the killer is apprehended and convicted.
