Fatia
Osun, who is a Muslim cleric and is popularly known and referred to as an
“Alfa”, is alleged to have connived with his younger brother Sakiru, to kill
Yusuf so that they would share the entire amount. The late Yusuf Osun was
strangled with a 2.5mm wire by Fatia while his other brothers stabbed him.
After
the murder, the half brother of the perpetrators and the deceased, Tunji, sent
a text message to a neighbour, telling him that Yusuf had passed away. He
informed the neighbour that Yusuf had gotten drunk, slipped in the bathroom and
hit his head. Another picture after the cut>>>>
However,
his story was suspect because Yusuf was a known teetotaller, and suspicious neighbours came to the house
and found Yusuf’s body with all the wounds. They alleged that Tunji assisted
his brothers in moving Yusuf’s body to the bathroom and cleaning out the
sitting room, where the incident had occurred.
At
this point, the crowd turned into a mob, and beat up the brothers before
informing the police who promptly arrested the brothers.
The
genesis
According
to neighbours, their late father had willed the house to Yusuf because of long
lasting disagreements that he had with Fatia, the eldest over his lifestyle.
But, said neighbours also claimed that the men’s father failed to leave a
written will behind.
After
the death of their parents, Alfa proposed the sale of the house to his brothers
but the late Yusuf objected to the sale of the property which was valued
at N15 million. Yusuf instead suggested
that they rent the house out and move to the boys-quarters because to him, the
house was their only hope for long term survival.
His
refusal led to a disagreement between with his brothers, which resulted in a
bloody fight. It was alleged that in that fighting, his brother, Fatia, stabbed
him six times. Yusuf however survived this fight and was admitted to hospital
where he recovered after spending almost 3 weeks.
Upon
his release from the hospital, Yusuf apparently accepted to sell the house and
divide the money as his brothers wanted, so the house was put up for sale.
Eventually, a buyer showed interest and offered
N15
million.
Upon
reaching an agreement with the prospective buyer, the eldest, Fatia, informed
his brothers that he was entitled to
N10
million of the money, while they would have to make do with
N5
million amongst themselves.
The
neighbours said that Yusuf had the previous night asked people to lend him
N1,000 to go out since he wasn’t comfortable sleeping in their home.
Neighbours
react
When
a TelegraphNG correspondent visited the neighbourhood, the residents were all
still in shock.
A
neighbour who pleaded anonymity, said he was surprised that Alfa could carry
out such a dastardly act adding that she never imagined that such a thing will
happen in their estate.
“That
means, his going to mosque and the whole Alfa thing is all camouflage, we all
need to be wary about people around us, how can someone be so inhuman and
callous to kill another person not to talk of killing his own brother over
worldly things”.
A
neighbour, Yinka Adewale, said one of the accused and the most senior (Fatia)
was also responsible for the death of their late father.
“His
plan was to sell the house long time ago, the death of his brother is not
surprising to me because his father died mysteriously, so did his mother. He
was taking out all those that seemed like a stumbling block to him,” Yinka
said.
“Something
of this nature has never happened nor heard of within this vicinity, Mobile
Estate is a peace place to live. Its a sad event, I don’t even want to talk
about it again. Its just so painful” another resident lament.
Confession
During
interrogation, Sakiru, one of the accused who is also the youngest in the
family, said his elder brother promised to send him abroad so he can have a
good life if he took part in eliminating their brother, Yusuf.
Investigations
are currently ongoing at the Area E command Police station, Lagos and will be
transferred to the Panti police station Yaba for further investigation
