Grandson kills grandparents

If someone had told Pa Busari Ogundeji and Madam Olalonpe that yesterday, Sunday was their last on earth, they wouldn’t have believed because even at 140 and 120 years of age, they were full of life before the man made death that took their lives.

According to an eyewitness, the entire neighbourhood was alerted to the happening at the house when another old woman, identified simply as Iya Eleko, who saw Madam Olalonpe being butchered, raised the alarm. 

It was the shouts from Iya Eleko that drew the attention of residents, including Pa Ogundeji, who, on getting to the scene, was overpowered by Dekunle and was  thereafter macheted to death.
