A man simply identified as Bode is reportedly on the run after killing one Tunde Akinmoyewa with a dane gun at Laoso Village in Ondo West Local Government Area of the state.

A source revealed that the 27-year-old ex-convict was shot dead by his friend while testing a new locally-made gun last Tuesday.

The source said;

“To test the efficacy of the charms, Tunde asked his friend (Bode) to shoot him first. After Tunde’s friend picked up the guy and shot him (Tunde), suddenly, he fell down and died on the spot.

“Having seen what had happened, the suspect took to his heels before the neighbours arrived the scene and has not been arrested.”

The deceased was rushed to the nearest hospital in the village, where he was confirmed dead. Ondo police command spokesperson, Funmilayo Odunlami who confirmed the incident said they’ve launched an investigation into the incident.

Odunlami said;

“One Tunde Akinmoyewa, an ex-convict who is also a cultist, while testing a locally made gun believed to be newly procured was accidentally shot by one of his boys named Bode, surname yet unknown, as a result of which he died while being taken to hospital for medical attention.

“Meanwhile, the remains of the deceased have been deposited in the morgue while efforts are in top gear to arrest the suspect.”
