An Ogun State-based businessman, Ademola Alade, has been stabbed to death in the Magede, Ibafo area of the state by yet-to-be-identified assailants. It was gathered on Tuesday from a source privy to the incident, who pleaded anonymity due to the nature of the case, that Alade was killed by unknown men at the entrance of his house last Wednesday, but his corpse was discovered the following day. The source revealed that Alade was stabbed in his house when he returned from a family event around 10 p.m. on Wednesday. He narrated that the unidentified assailants had laid siege to Alade in his house as he returned from the outing. The source said, “He was killed on Wednesday, and I was called on Thursday. I learnt that as he came in, some people were already in his house. We don’t know if they were hired assassins. “As he came in, they just descended on him and took him outside. They stabbed him in the neck with a very sharp object. It pierced through his vein, and the blood was all over the compound entrance.” The source also explained that nobody was around at the time the incident occurred in the night, as the deceased was only discovered by neighbours on Thursday afternoon. He added that Alade’s car, which was always parked in the compound, was missing—raising suspicions that the assailants may have either stolen the vehicle or used it as a means of escape. “In the morning, nobody heard from him. In the afternoon, the people around went to his house and found that the whole gate and door were left open. They came in and saw his lifeless body in a pool of his blood. “Strangely, they took his car. Because he always parked his car inside, maybe they used it to escape, or they stole it —nobody knows. “At the same time, they took all his phones and some other things,” the source said. He also noted that the incident was reported to the police division in the area, adding that the deceased’s corpse was taken to a morgue before his family came to retrieve it for burial in Ogbomoso, Oyo State.
