Rejected suitor who killed MTN staff remanded

Remember the rejected suitor who allegedly killed an MTN staff and later arrested?



He is in detention at  the Federal Prison in Madalla, Kwara State by Mrs. Mercy Adebola of the Ilorin Magistrate’s Court.

David,  who is a teacher at the Landmark University Secondary School, Omu-Aran, was charged with culpable homicide punishable by death, and an attempt to commit culpable homicide contrary to sections 221 and 229 of Penal Code.

It was learnt that the matter was transferred from ‘F’ Police Station, Ilorin, to the State Department of Criminal Investigation.

According to the police report,   the accused was at Ashinwo’s residence at Tanke, Ilorin, where he met the mother of the deceased, Abiola (65), and made effort to convince the deceased and her mother to accept his marriage proposal.

Ashinwo was said to have refused the marriage proposal on the basis that David was a married man.

According to the report, the refusal of the marriage proposal infuriated the accused, who ran into the kitchen, picked a knife and stabbed Ashinowo to death.

“The suspect also stabbed Abiola all over her body till she fell into a coma,” the report added.

The police stated that the victim’s mother was receiving medical treatment at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, adding that her recovery, however, was not certain.
