Wicked boyfriend ‘kills’ lover’s son

Little five-year-old Ayo Azeez had known his mother’s boyfriend, Adesile Ogooluwa (41 ) for a while and had seen him as his “stepfather”. His mother had left his biological father after irreconcilable misunderstanding which led to their separation.

Ogooluwa and Ayo had become so close that they often strolled out together. But on this fateful day, he went out with his supposed stepfather never to return. He was allegedly killed by Ogooluwa for his mother’s sin. The incident happened at Olorunsogo area of Ibadan, Oyo State on Saturday, April 9, 2011.

Mrs Aminat Azeez (35), Ayo’s mother, had packed out of her estranged husband’s house sometime last year, after things went sour between the two lovebirds. She had left her husband alongside her son (Ayo). After some months, she met Adesile, a motor spare parts dealer in Lagos and after much persuasion and love overtures from Adesile, she moved in and started living with him at 5, Efon-Alaye Street, Agbado, Ijaiye area of Lagos.

Aminat had reportedly sworn that she would never return to the father of her only son, owing to the maltreatment she allegedly received while under his roof. “He drove me out without allowing me to take even a pin, not even my cloth”, she lamented. It was at that point, according to her, that Ayo started going out with Adesile, a friend and a stepfather with whom he felt free to take strolls on many occasions.

The story, however, changed when family members intervened in the rift between her and her husband. “I cannot but listen to my people when they insisted that I should go back to the father of my only son, he was also willing to take me back”, she told Daily Sun.

Trouble was, how does she summon enough courage to inform her new lover about the new development that wouldcertainly end their dream of living together as husband and wife? Somehow she did, but, the news was not taken in good faith by Ogooluwa, as he was said to be desperate to have Amina as his wife. All entreaties to let him see reason fell on deaf ears. Amina eventually left Lagos and returned to Ibadan to live with her former husband. Broken -hearted Ogooluwa decided to take his pound of flesh.

He went to Amina’s mother’s house in Ibadan, where she was at the time, under the pretence that he was in town on an errand and had called to say hello. He allegedly demanded that Amina allow Ayo to go out with him. “Since that was not the first time they’ve been going out together, I couldn’t object and besides Ayo was fond of him, that was the last time I saw my son alive”. She recounted amidst tears.

Ogooluwa, now a suspect, was said to have called after some hours, threatening the mother to come and pick the boy if she loved herself somewhere around Odinjo area of Ibadan and like a true mother would act, she rushed to the area, but couldn’t find them there. She later called and was informed by the suspect that he had moved to Olorunsogo area with the little boy. “We eventually located the address he gave us at Olorunsogo, we asked him for my boy and he told us he was sleeping. We immediately rushed in to see the boy, but as we were trying to rush into the room, he ran out, that was when we found my son in the pool of his own blood”, Amina said.

The boy was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital but he gave up even before any medication could be administered on him. Understanding the gravity of his offence, the suspect was said to have rushed back to Lagos.
Unfortunately for him, his father had received a message informing him of the evil his son had allegedly perpetrated in Ibadan. The father, Daily Sun learnt, played along with him, pretending he was unaware of the incident.

He was said to have given him food and while eating went ahead to the police station to effect his arrest.
He was consequently arrested and brought back to Ibadan to face the law. The suspect is being interrogated by the state police command. The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olatunji Ajimuda, a Superintendent, confirmed the incident and the arrest of the suspect, adding that the police had since commenced full investigation into the matter.
