The police in Lagos have launched a manhunt for Seyi Okanlawon, for allegedly clubbing his stepfather, to death in the Ilupeju, Mushin area of Lagos State.
The victim and deceased, Alex Momoh
As earlier reported, Seye hit the victim with a pestle in the head and leg after a disagreement over a cake made by his sister, Moyo Okanlawon.
The suspect was alleged to have grabbed a pestle with which he hit the victim in the head and leg. Alex was said to have passed out as blood drained from his body. He was later rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba, where he died.
A daughter of the deceased, Joy, said that the family had already buried the deceased, as the prime suspect had fled. "Immediately it happened, the man fled and he has not been seen since then. We still want justice for our father and we want the police to get the suspect arrested," she added.
The matter was said to have been reported at the Ilupeju Police Division. Since the incident, the suspect has been on the run and the police is currently exploring every avenue to find him and bring him to book.
