Gbenga, 35, a father of
two, was killed last Sunday while harvesting tomatoes.
The farm manager,
identified as Gbenga Kiki, has been strangled to death by unknown persons while
harvesting crop on a farmland in Orisada-Eyo community in the Yewa South Local
Government Area of Ogun State.
Punch reports that the
manager had left for the farm on his motorcycle around 12pm.
The deceased went with his
nine-year-old daughter, who was later found at a junction some hours later, and
was taken home by a good Samaritan.
Gbenga’s corpse was, last
Thursday, discovered by a members of a vigilance group.
The deceased’s mother,
Celina Kiki, told newsmen that the assailants trailed his son to the farm and
killed him.
She said, “It was around
12pm on Sunday. I prepared food for him and asked him to eat before going to
the farm as he had much work to do. He insisted on going, adding that he would
return to eat as he was not going to stay long. He went on his motorcycle.
“He said I should keep the
food for him. When it was, however, getting late, I became worried that he had
not returned. Minutes later, I saw a man riding his motorcycle home. The man
brought back Gbenga’s daughter.
“I was shocked and knew
that something bad had happened. The girl could not explain anything. The
attackers must have dropped her at a junction while they went to carry out
their wicked act.
“We kept on searching for
Gbenga until Thursday when his corpse was found on the farmland. We do not know
who killed him. I am still in pains.”
A community leader, who
identified himself only as Odebiyi, urged the police to be thorough in their
investigation.
He said, “The two suspects
arrested should be quizzed thoroughly by the police. They may have useful
information about the case. One of them is known as Dauda. He was a former
manager of the farmland where Gbenga worked.”
The Ogun State acting
Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the police were
investigating Gbenga’s death.
He said, “The matter was
initially reported as a case of missing person. But when the corpse was
eventually found in a bush, no mark of violence was discovered on him. The
owner of the farm and another person were invited for questioning. The police
will determine if there was any foul play.”
