16-Year-Old Girl Pushes Woman To Death In Ondo, Arrested

A 16-year-old girl, Opeyemi Adudu, has been arrested for pushing a woman, identified as Medinat Aliu, aged 52, to death during an altercation in the Isolo area of Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The teenager was reportedly arrested by operatives of the Ondo State Police Command after the crime was committed.

According to a source, who narrated what transpired between the duo, Aliu and the suspect had a little altercation over a matter that concerned a public well in their neighborhood.

It was gathered that the heated argument between the two led to a scuffle, which caused the suspect to have allegedly pushed the deceased who fell and became unconscious before she later gave up the ghost.

The source said, “The issue began when the suspect was fetching water from the well in the area after she had earlier taken her bathe.

“The deceased observed that the suspect did not cover her hair and she told her to cover the hair. That was what led to the altercation. As the deceased tried to move her (suspect) away from the well, the latter pushed her and she fell down and died later.”

The source said the incident threw the whole community into mourning, while adding that residents in nearby houses fled their houses for fear of the unknown.

Some elderly persons who could not abandon their houses later informed the police who came to effect the arrest of the suspect.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, stated that investigation into the matter had commenced.

The police image maker stated that “the case has been transferred to state Criminal Investigative Department for further investigation”.
