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
