“I had not met
the young man before. I met him that morning at the Alaba market, and asked him
to buy one of my appliances: an air conditioner. He actually looked like a cart
pusher. When we got home, we both went in to remove the product, and we brought
it outside for negotiation. As we continued, he said he would pay less than N5,
000. I replied that he should assist me to return it to where we took it from,
but he refused. In the process, we started fighting. He even asked me to pay
him for helping me bring it out. I was mad, and I hit his belly with a plank.
When I realised he had fainted, I tied him with a rope and dragged him into a
corner. I also fled the house.”
It
was one of Ikonne’s co-tenants who noticed Yaya’s tied up corpse, raised an
alarm, and reported the case to the Okokomaiko police station.
