A young man in Ondo, who is presumed to be mentally imbalanced, has allegedly taken the life of a herbalist who was treating him.
24-year-old Iijisakin Ayoola is said to have stabbed a“traditional doctor”, one Iliasu Waheed in the Idanre area of the state.
Ayoola allegedly took the deceased unawares when he crept up on him from behind and stabbed his neck with a bottle shard.
Vanguardreports:
Vanguard gathered that the deceased before his death specialised in healing psychiatric patients.
Sources said that the deceased who resided at 9, Isanwo Ijigbokin Street, Idanre was from Osun State. He was married to an Idanre woman before he met his untimely death in the hands of one of his patients.
Vanguard learnt that the suspect, after stabbing the deceased also attempted to set the house ablaze before he was later apprehended.
According to the sources the deceased, who had no premonition of the attack, was approached from behind by the suspect who drove the broken bottle into the neck of his doctor in his apartment.
The shout for help from the deceased attracted his neighbours who rushed to the Police station in Alade‑Idanre Divisional Police Headquarters.
The DPO, SP Martins Ohalete, reportedly dispatched a team to the scene of the crime where they met the deceased in a pool of his blood. Although he was rushed to the general hospital, he died before any treatment could be administered on him.
The deceased, according to family source, has been buried according to Islamic rites.
Police image maker, Wole Ogodo, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect escaped after committing the crime but was later arrested.
Ogodo said the suspect was among the patients the deceased was treating for mental disorder.
According to Ogodo, the suspect is presently being detained at the State Criminal Department(SCID) while detectives are probing the immediate cause of the death.
