The victim’s father, who had lodged a complaint at the Isheri-Osun Police Division, attempted to rush his son to the hospital for medical attention. Unfortunately, Azeez succumbed to his injuries before they could reach the hospital.
Police officers from the division visited the scene and found Azeez’s lifeless body lying in a pool of blood with a deep wound to his neck. His body has since been taken to Mainland General Hospital, Yaba, for an autopsy.
