A teenager apprentice has been arrested with his cult gang for the death of a member of his master’s member union in ikorodu Lagos state.
A 17-year-old apprentice, identified simply as Deji , was accused of sending his cult members to kill a member of his master’s union Mr. Adetola Azeez after his master beats him for telling lies in Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that on February 3rd 2020 , the deceased went out with other members of the union to collect envelops they gave to their colleagues for financial assistance to support on of their colleague who is getting married the following Saturday.
But when Mr Azeez and his colleagues got to Deji’s master’s shop to collect the envelop, the suspect lied that his boss was not around.
Immediately the late Olarewaju and colleagues were about leaving, Deji’s master came out of the shop and told them that he was around. Annoyed, the deceased picked up a stick, beat Busayo and warned him not to lie again.
Azeez believed that beating Deji as an apprentice was to teach him to be honest and upright. Unfortunately, he and other union members never knew that Deji was bitter and was planning revenge.
Days later, Deji allegedly summoned two of his cult members from Itire in Surulere area of Lagos to come to Isawo to assist him to deal with the union chairman. When they arrived at Isawo, the two suspects stayed in the shop of one of the graduated apprentices till 8p.m. before they went for their operation.
The suspects reportedly stole the phone of the person who accommodated them in order not to inform Azeez of their plan.Deji was said to have earlier informed the shop owner he would deal with the chairman. The shop owner wanted to inform Azeez of the suspects’ plan when he discovered they had stolen his phone.
When the suspects were leaving Isawo after the operation, one of them stole a phone at Agric bus stop.
The Deji’s colleague, who stole phone at Agric bus stop, was arrested and taken to the Isawo Police Station. Unknown to him, the person they stayed in his shop before they went to kill Azeez was at the police station with other union members.
Immediately he saw the suspect, he told elders of the union that the person arrested by the police was one of those who murdered Azeez . That was how he was arrested for murder.
