13-Year-Old Boy Shoots, Kills Girl In Ogun

From Ogun State is a report that a gun-weilding 13-year-old boy, Ope Babalola, has allegedly shot dead a three-year-old girl, Esther Samuel, in Ogun state.

Reports indicated that the boy shot dead the girl with a dane gun belonging to one Semiu Adegesin.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Ogun State Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the incident occurred in Kukudi village in Imasayi, Yewa North Local Government Area of the state.

Oyeyemi told journalists on Friday that Adegesin, the owner of the gun, has been arrested for “contributory negligence”.

According to the PPRO, the 45-year-old man was arrested following report lodged at Police Divisional headquarters, Imasayi, that a 13-year old boy shot and killed a girl.

He further explained that; “Upon the information, the DPO Imasayi division, SP Arowojeun Michael, quickly led his detectives to the scene where the deceased was met in the pool of her own blood.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect Semiu Adegesin loaded his dane gun, and carelessly kept it in an open place at the backyard of the house where children used to play.

“It was there the 13-year old Ope Babalola picked the loaded gun, pointed it at the deceased and pulled the trigger. The deceased was quickly taken to General Hospital Ilaro, where she was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.

“The owner of the dane gun was promptly arrested and taken to the station for interrogation”.

On how the matter is being handled, Oyeyemi said the Commissioner of Police, Frank Mba, has already directed that the case be transferred to Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Departments (SCID) for discreet investigation.

The Police Spokesperson quoted CP Mba as describing the incident as unfortunate, even as he sympathized with the deceased’s family and appealed for calm.
