Ondo: Tragedy as Lady kills Sister over #800 tomatoes money
ONDO STATE POLICE COMMAND ARRESTS SUSPECT OVER HOMICIDE INCIDENT IN AKURE
The Ondo State Police Command, under the proactive leadership of the Commissioner of Police, CP Adebowale Lawal, psc+, MNIPS, wishes to inform the public of a tragic incident which occurred in Akure on the 6th of September, 2025, at about 2000hrs.
Preliminary investigation revealed that one Iluyemi Bosede ‘f’ approached her elder sister, Tewogboye Omowumi ‘f’, aged 35 years, to demand the sum of Eight Hundred Naira (₦800.00) being payment for tomatoes and pepper earlier bought. What began as a minor disagreement, however, tragically escalated into violence when the suspect allegedly held onto the clothes of the victim, causing her to fall to the ground.
Sadly, despite being rushed to the hospital for urgent medical attention, the victim was confirmed dead on arrival. This unfortunate outcome underscores how seemingly trivial disputes can spiral into irreversible consequences if not peacefully managed.
Following the incident, the suspect was promptly arrested and is currently in custody while the case remains under investigation. The Command assures members of the public that justice will be pursued diligently in line with the rule of law.
In addressing this case, the Commissioner of Police reiterates the Command’s unwavering commitment to the safety of all residents of Ondo State and strongly urges members of the public to embrace dialogue and non-violent means in resolving disagreements.
The Command further appreciates the steadfast leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, whose policing vision of community safety and security continues to guide operations across the country, including Ondo State.
