46-Year-Old Man Who Stabbed a Motorcyclist Over Alleged Affair with His Wife Arrested.

Agents of the Ogun State Community, Social Orientation and Safety Corps, also known as So-Safe Corps, have detained a 46-year-old resident of Adu Town, Ajebo Road, Mile 6, Abeokuta, on suspicion of attempting murder.

On Thursday, June 6, 2024, at around 2.40 pm, the suspect, identified as Ibrahim Ogunrinde, was taken into custody at Ijaye Garage in Abeokuta. In a statement, Moruf Yusuf, the corps' director of information and public relations, said:

“Ibrahim Ogunrinde, a butcher and farmer, had pretended to be a passenger and asked the victim, Kosu Daniel (aka “Jeje”), to take him to Olubo Town on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, at noon.

He then allegedly stabbed Kosu Daniel in the neck and arm, leaving him in a pool of blood, and escaped with the victim’s motorbike. The suspect confessed that he was motivated by a desire to eliminate the victim, who he believed had an affair with his wife two months prior.

He believed he had succeeded in killing the victim, not knowing that Kosu Daniel was rushed to the hospital and is currently receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta.”

The seized motorbike and the suspect have been given to Magbon, and an investigation is still underway.
