A Nigerian policeman attached to the Ogun State Police Command, went on the rampage on
Thursday in Abeokuta, killing six people, including his wife and a two-year-old
child.
Investigation
by State Criminal Investigation
Department, revealed that the police officer was having matrimonial problems with his wife Oluwatosin
Faremi, who was also a police corporal attached to Obantoko Police Division,
Abeokuta.
Residents
of the area said the policeman had been accusing his wife of infidelity. It
was learnt that the wife had packed out of her matrimonial home along with the
couple’s two children to the apartment of their landlady after another round of
such accusation.
The
Police officer, on learning about the whereabouts of his wife, stormed the
landlady’s residence around 7.50am at 67, Ifelodun Street, Obantoko, Abeokuta
and opened fire on his wife. He
was also said to have shot and killed the landlady, her two-year-old child, the
motorcycle rider that took him to the house and two others.
Three
other tenants of the house sustained gunshot injuries during the incident. He,
however, spared his children, who were also in the house. After
completing his mission, he was said to have turned the gun on himself and taken
his life.
