A 24-year old man, Abass Olalere, has been reportedly butchered by a yet to be identified 12-man gang in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Investigations by source revealed that his assailants invaded the house, on Thursday, around 9:48pm at Labinkulu village, Moniya in the Akinyele Local Government Area of the state and butchered him to death in the presence of his wife and three months old son.

Our correspondent, who visited the area, on Saturday, observed that the entire community was tensed as people were gathering in groups to discuss the unfortunate incident.

Speaking with our correspondent, the deceased’s wife, Omolayo Olalere, said, “We were together outside around 9:48pm when they suddenly invaded our house. I don’t know them and my late husband had no misunderstanding with anybody before he died. When they came in, we quickly rushed inside the house and lucked everywhere but they broke the door and destroy our windows to gain access.

“Before they gained entrance, one of my senior wives who was outside was mercilessly beaten and almost killed. When they came inside, they told my husband to cooperate with them by laying down on the table in the parlour. As he did that, they started using different weapons such as dagger, axe, knife, broken bottles, cutlasses to hit him including charms to ensure that he didn’t survive it.

They were 12 in number and three of them covered their faces. They used mask so as not to identify them.
