Machete-wielding lunatic docked for hacking police officer, 75-yr-old man to death
The long arm of the law has caught up with a suspected machete-wielding lunatic for hacking two people to death and injuring others in an attack at Tekunle village, in the Ondo East Local Government Area of Ondo State.
According to reports, the lunatic was apprehended by men of the Ondo State Police Command after he hacked a yet-to-be identified police officer and a 75-year-old man, identified as Mr Olusegun Oyadele.
Eyewitnesses say the lunatic first attacked the old man who was drying cocoa beans in front of his house, after which he killed one of the policemen that came to arrest him.
An eyewitness who declined to be named said; “We don’t know why the madman attacked and killed the old man. When the matter was reported at the police station, a team of policemen was sent to the area to arrest the lunatic.
“As the policemen arrived at the scene, the madman also attacked and killed one of them with his machete. He injured four other people before running into a bush.”
Confirming the arrest of the lunatic, Mr Femi Joseph, the state Police Public Relations Officer said the suspect was nabbed after a team of policemen, led by the Commissioner of Police, Mr Gbenga Adeyanju, chased him into the bush.
The State PPRO said, “We have arrested him. The CP led a team of policemen, some hunters and vigilance group members to arrest him in Tekunle village. He is in our custody.”
