Read Time:1 Minute, 31 Second
The Osun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps announced on Monday that it has launched an investigation to capture those responsible for the murder of a night guard at a shopping complex on Station Road in Ikirun, Osun State.
The exact time of the guard’s death, identified only as Ibariba, remains unclear.
However, sources from Station Road, where the complex is situated, reported that his body was discovered on Monday morning.
Residents in the area were unwilling to speak on record, fearing they might be associated with the crime.
However, a shop owner near the scene of the crime, who craved anonymity,“We found the body in the pool of blood when we got here this morning.
“I don’t know the name of the night guard. All we were told was that he was an Ibariba man. Going by how the corpse looked like when we got here, he must have been slaughtered. We immediately alerted the police and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence. They both sent officers here.”
When contacted for confirmation, the spokesperson for the NSCDC Osun Command, Kehinde Adeleke, said operatives had visited the scene of the crime.
“We had a report that today, Monday, a middle-aged man simply known as Ibariba was slaughtered by unknown assailants in the early hours, while on duty as a night guard at Station Road Area, Ikirun.
“The man was working as a security guard in a shopping complex located in Station Road when the ugly incident occurred.
“Remains of the deceased had been evacuated and deposited in a morgue by the men from Ikinrun Police Divisional Headquarters.
“Meanwhile, an investigation had commenced by the officers of the corps in the division to unravel the cause of the death and apprehend the perpetrators,” Adeleke said.
