The Ondo State Police Command said effort is made to apprehend a man who allegedly killed one Tunde Akinmoyewa with a dane gun at Laoso Village in Ondo West Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered that the 27-year-old man and an ex-convict, was shot dead by his friend while experimenting a charm reported to be bullet proof with a local gun last week.
A community source who preferred anonymity said, “To test the efficacy of the charms, Tunde asked his friend (Bode) to shoot him first. After Tunde’s friend picked up the guy and shot him (Tunde), suddenly, he fell down and died on the spot.
“Having seen what had happened, the suspect took to his heels before the neighbours arrived at the scene and has not been arrested.”
According to him, as soon as the spiritualist pulled the trigger, the deceased was rushed to the nearest hospital in the village, where he was confirmed dead.
Reacting to the development, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Funmilayo Odunlami, said the command had commenced an investigation into the matter and efforts were ongoing to arrest the suspect.
She said, “One Tunde Akinmoyewa, an ex-convict who is also a cultist, while testing a locally made gun believed to be newly procured was accidentally shot by one of his boys named Bode, surname yet unknown, as a result of which he died while being taken to hospital for medical attention.
“Meanwhile, the remains of the deceased have been deposited in the morgue while efforts are in top gear to arrest the suspect.”
