A 15-year-old boy,
Mojoyinoluwa Abioye, shot his 12-year-old friend, Timilehin Oguntoye, to death
while playing with a loaded locally-made gun at Akiriboto in Osun State.
It was learnt that the
incident happened on Saturday in the agrarian community in Ife-North Local
Government Council.
A source explained that
the incident, which threw the village into mourning, also caused pandemonium.
It was learnt that
members of Oguntoye family threatened to kill any member of Abioye family in
retaliation.
The elders in the
village were, however, able to calm frayed nerves.
It was also learnt that
Abioye took to his heels immediately after the incident.
Police Public Relations
Officer, Osun State Police Command, Mrs Sade Odoro, confirmed the incident.
She said, “The police
are on the trail of the fleeing teenager.”
