There was pandemonium at Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, after Temitayo, a recent graduate of the institution was fatally stabbed by an indigene over a 1,000 naira payment misunderstanding, IGBERETV reports.
Temitayo, was stabbed with scissors in the early hours of Thursday, April 6, around Ebenco filling, opposite Akua junction, Akungba. Temitayo was rushed to Aduloju Hospital along Iwaro road where he later succumbed to his injuries.
IGBERETV gathered that Temitayo recently graduated from the department of Physics Electronics and was still in the school waiting to defend his undergraduate project.
The University’s Student Union source told newsmen that Temitayo had intervened in a naira payment dispute between an “Egbon Adugbo” and a third party, where he promised to settle the bill for the latter.
Temidayo was able to reimburse the perpetrators 3000 naira out of the 4000 naira but was unable to pay the remaining 1,000 naira outstanding which resulted into an argument causing the death of the fresh graduate.
“A guy (the third party) was owing them money,” the source said “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 a 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 into 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.”
According to BigSam Pelumi Akerele’s Facebook post, angry students of the institution burnt the family house of the indigene who is on the run.
“Students have trooped out in search of the Indigene, his family House has been reportedly burnt by angry Students, but he is yet to be located as at the time of filing this report.”, BigSam wrote.
