There
was apprehension at the popular Oke Fia area of Osogbo, Osun State Yesterday Tuesday [Sept 13], when a commercial motorcyclist stabbed a younger
cyclist, identified as Remi Gbadamosi, in the stomach, with his
intestine coming out, thus causing confusion among the passersby. The
incident was said to have occurred when the duo had a head-on collision
on the dual carriage way. There were conflicting reports on what led to
the clash between the Okada rider and the cyclist, but one of the
eyewitnesses informed us that the commercial cyclist was riding against
the traffic when he collided with the cyclist. A fight was said to have
ensued between them and the commercial cyclist suddenly drew a sharp
knife from his jacket and subsequently stabbed the cyclist in the
stomach, thus spilling his intestines. With the reality of his act
dawning on him, the Okada rider attempted to escape the scene of the
incident, but some people held him, while the cyclist was rushed to
Emmanuel Medical Centre, Osogbo, where doctors were battling to save his
life. One of the doctors, attending to the victim at the health
facility, Tunde Afolabi, however, assured his family members that
Gbadamosi was responding to treatment. The Osun State Commissioner of
Police, Mr Femi Oyeleye, confirmed the incident, saying the suspect had
been arrested and would soon be arraigned in court after the conclusion
of investigation.
