Tragedy struck on Tuesday in Oba-Ile in Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State, as a man suspected to be a drug addict, allegedly macheted three children to death.
Zagazola gathered that the incident occurred at about 8:05 p.m when the suspect, identified as Sodiq Eniola, aged 30, stormed the house of one Mr Ganiyu Bamidele at Ese Ola’s compound.
The bewildered Bamidele explained that the suspect went directly to his wife’s shop located within the premises where he found the couple’s three children sleeping and attacked them with a machete, killing all three on the spot.
Upon receiving the distress report, policemen from Oba-Ile Division swiftly mobilised to the scene, where they met a mob attempting to mete out jungle justice to the suspect.
Despite efforts to rescue the suspect, he sustained severe injuries from the mob attack and later died while being transported to the hospital.
