Bamiduro Adewulo, a 59-year –old security guard lost his life after he was stoned to death by his ‘Personal Assistant’ Fumilayo Asojo while settling a dispute over an N700 debt.
The security guard was trying to settle a dispute between Funmilayo and another man for over 700 naira and was in the process stoned. He had injuries from the incident and was rushed to the hospital where he died two days later.
Adewole Adewulo, the brother of Bamiduro told the police that Asojo struck a stone on his boss' head after he appealed to him to let go.
In his words:
“I did not believe it until I saw Duro’s lifeless body at the mortuary.
“The accused was known all over the town to be the Personal Assistant to the deceased.”
Asojo who has now been arraigned on one count bordering on murder, committed the offence on December 28, 2022, at Ute in Owo Local Government area of Ondo State.
Presiding Magistrate, R.O Yakubu, did not take the plea of the defendant over the offence which contravened sections 319 and 355 of the Criminal Code Law, Cap 37 Vol. II Laws of Ondo State, 2006.
Shortly after remanding the defendant at Olokuta Correctional Centre, pending advice from the DPP, Yakubu adjourned the case till March 19 for mention.
