The family of Victor Ajisafe, who was allegedly
killed by a Fulani man in Akure, the Ondo State capital, has called on the Ondo
State Government and the state police command to fish out his killer.
The victim’s widow, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Ajisafe; and
his mother, Mrs. Ajoyo Ajisafe, appealed to the Ondo State Commissioner of
Police, Mr. Gbenga Adeyanju, to bring the killer to book.
Victor, 30, was allegedly stabbed to death by a
Fulani man who wanted to board a vehicle at a motor park at the Road Block area
of Akure after a disagreement between them on Sunday.
The identity of the alleged killer was still
unknown as of the time of filing this report.
It was gathered that on the day, a friend of the
suspect, who was identified as Usman Olaniyi, allegedly told the suspect in
Hausa that the deceased was abusing him in Yoruba.
A source said, “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 victim was
stabbed, the killer Fulani man fled the scene and his whereabouts had been
unknown.
However, Olaniyi, who incited the killer, was
arrested and handed over to the police.
The state Public Relations Officer, Mr. Femi
Joseph, confirmed the incident and Olaniyi’s arrest.
He said, “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.”
