Jungle Justice: Carpenter mistaken for criminal, clubbed to death by mob in Ekiti
A 45-year old carpenter, Mr. Olufalayi Obadare, has reportedly been beaten to death by an angry mob at Olujoda Area of Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The late Obadare, who lived with his family at Ilawe road, Ado Ekiti, was allegedly clubbed and attacked with other weapons, he was said to have slipped into a coma before he died. “The question to ask is that, did they see any dangerous weapon on him? Why couldn’t they take him to the person who contracted him for the job to know his true identity? This was a gross injustice and the perpetrators must be brought to book”.One of the deceased’s relatives, Mrs.Omowunmi Idowu, said she was shocked when notified that her brother, who suffered slight malaria a few days back, has been killed.
“When we spoke on the telephone, he informed me that he was going to secure a job at Olujoda area on that day without knowing that it would be his end”.
