Pandemonium broke out on Sunday in Ibillo, Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo State, when a man, popularly known as Alhaji, used a machete to kill three persons during an argument over the ownership of a bitter leaf plant.
The three persons killed in the incident that occurred at Ogo quarters of the town were one Mr Aliu Ademo, a girl called Favour and a boy called Isaac, who died on Monday morning at the hospital.
It was gathered that trouble started following an argument between Alhaji and the daughter of another co-tenant over the bitter leaf plant in the compound. Alhaji, currently on the run, was said to have picked the vegetable leaves without the consent of the owner, something that angered Favour, the daughter of another tenant.
"Alhaji came out with a cutlass and macheted the girl. Mr Aliu saw what happened and started shouting, Alhaji ran after the boy called Isaac to kill him but Aliu pursued him in order to save the boy. He (Alhaji) macheted both the small boy and Aliu.
“He decided to kill the man because he came to save the boy. The small boy was rushed to the hospital because he became unconscious, but we later heard that he died this morning (Monday)," an eyewitness stated.
Reacting to the incident, Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Stephen Onwechei, said the suspect was currently on the run but that the police were on his trail.
"He abandoned his cutlass and took to his heels. When people came around to stop him, he macheted them, including the child. That was barbaric.
"I understand he previously had quarrel with the mother of the child over the ownership of a bitter leaf tree in the compound. That is madness but we must arrest him no matter how far he tries to run. He must face justice for his wicked act," Onwechei stated.
