Alumnus of AAUA killed over #1,000 debt

Following a 1,000 naira payment misunderstanding, a fresh graduate of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, has been deeply stabbed by an indigene.

In the early hours of Thursday, April 6, the victim identified as Temitayo, was stabbed with scissors around Ebenco filling, opposite Akua junction, Akungba.

The victim, Temitayo was rushed to Aduloju Hospital along Iwaro Road where he later passed away from his wounds.

He was a fresh graduate from the Department of Physics Electronics and was still waiting to defend his undergraduate project in school.

According to the information the school SUG gave to Peoples Gazette, had pledged to repay the bill for the other party after getting involved in a naira payment dispute between an “Egbon Adugbo” and the latter.

The victim was able to pay 3000 naira to the criminals out of the 4000 naira but wasn’t able to pay the final 1,000 naira, which led to an argument that resulted in the death of the recent graduate.

According to a source, ” it said,

“A guy (the third party) was owing them money, “and he told them (the perpetrators) that he will help the guy to pay the money to avoid drama. So he paid 3k out of the 4K and couldn’t raise the last 1k. So they started disturbing him and he said they should stop disturbing him that he did not owe them that he only rendered help and this afternoon(today) a guy came into the villa.”

“As usual they acted as Egbon ADUGBO to collect money. So he said he can’t give them, which led to an argument as if they’d meant to deal with him … and they came from nowhere to stab him after a lot of arguments and they scattered the villa with bottles and spoiled our gate.”

The deceased friends have taken to Facebook to mourn him.
