A 59-year-old security guard Bamiduro Adewulo has been killed by his ‘Personal Assistant’ Fumilayo Asojo while settling a dispute over an N700 debt.
Asojo reportedly stoned Adewulo to death.
He was said to be settling a dispute between Asojo and another man over N700.
“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,” he said.
Asojo, who was arraigned on one count bordering on murder, committed the offence on December 28, 2022, at Ute in Owo Local Government area of Ondo State.
The offence contravened sections 319 and 355 of the Criminal Code Law, Cap 37 Vol. II Laws of Ondo State, 2006.
Presiding Magistrate, R.O Yakubu, did not take the plea of the defendant for want of jurisdiction.
Yakubu, however, ordered the remand of the defendant at Olokuta Correctional Centre, pending advice from the DPP.
The case was adjourned to March 19 for mention.
