Tragedy struck last Thursday in Ede, Osun State when soldier attached to 401 Engineering Construction Regiment, identified as Olodi Blessed allegedly stabbed his neighbour, Mrs. Iyabo Olukunle to death. Nigerian Tribune reliably gathered that Blessed, who recently returned from one of the North-East states, where Nigerian troops were battling Boko Haram terrorists was hitherto residing inside the army barrack, in Ede, before he rented an apartment at Orita Barrack. Sources informed our correspondent that before he stabbed Iyabo, a nursing mother of five to death around 10.00 am, he had earlier stabbed his wife and son inside the room. We even heard that they have embalmed the corpse.”“What we want is that the remains of our mother should be released to us. Another relative of the deceased, identified as Ajasin Olukunle also called on the government and authorities of the Nigerian Army to intervene in the matter.
