AAUA graduate killed by knife because of a N1,000 debt

 Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, over a 1,000 naira payment issue.

The victim, who has only been given the name Temitayo, was attacked with scissors early on Thursday, April 6, near the Ebenco filling station across from the Akua intersection in Akungba.

Temitayo was taken by ambulance to Aduloju Hospital on Iwaro Road, where he eventually passed away from his wounds.

He had just received his degree in Physics Electronics and was still awaiting the defense of his undergraduate project.

According to a source from the University's Student Union, Temitayo offered to repay the bill for the third party after becoming involved in a naira payment dispute between a "Egbon Adugbo" and another party.

Temidayo was able to pay back 3000 of the 4000 naira to the criminals, but she was unable to pay the remaining 1,000 naira, which led to an altercation that culminated in the murder of the recent graduate.

“A guy (the third party) was owing them money,” the source said “and he told them (the perpetrators) that he will help the guy to pay the money to avoid drama. So he paid 3k out of the 4K and couldn’t raise the last 1k. So they started disturbing him and he said they should stop disturbing him that he did not owe them that he only rendered a help and this afternoon(today) a guy came into the villa.”

“As usual they acted as Egbon ADUGBO to collect money. So he said he can’t give them, which led into an argument as if they’d meant to deal with him … and they came from nowhere to stab him after a lot of arguments and they scattered the villa with bottles and spoiled our gate.”
