Neighbours say he had warned his land lady not to allow her into her house each time they had a fight and on this faithful day, the same thing happened. He got into a fight with his wife and she fled to the landlady's house, Mr Ogunbiyi went into a frenzy and started gun blazing. One Neighbour said:
"He left the police headquarters at Eleweran, just a few kilometers to the scene of the incident, on a commercial motorcycle, raced to the house, shot at his wife, Tosin, who is also a police officer attached to Obantoko Police Station, the landlady of the house, Iya Basira, the landlady’s daughter, Basira, the landlady’s son called Taofeek, another unnamed son as well her grandchild called Kaosara Jesu Tofunmi.
He also shot and killed Kunle, the motorcycle rider who brought him to the house before killing himself.He did not shoot his kids who were in the house at the time"
Three other victims he shot are said to be in critical condition and receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre at Idi-Aba."
The seven corpses had also been taken away from the scene of the incident and deposited at the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta.
Confirming the incident, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Muyiwa Adejobi, said there was no sign of insanity associated with the police officer before the heinous crime was committed.
One question on everybody's mind is how easy is it for our Police officers to pull out their weapons even when it is just to tackle a mosquito. Something clearly has to be done about this, countries like England have a no gun policy and the Police are trained to deal with crime with Stun Guns and Batons. Special Armed police are deployed in serious and threatening situations.
