A middle-aged trader in Akure, Ondo State capital, Bosede Iluyemi, has allegedly killed her elder sister, Omowumi Tewogboye, following a dispute over an ₦800 debt.
Bosede was said to have demanded repayment for tomatoes and pepper Omowumi bought on credit. The disagreement reportedly escalated, leading Bosede to hold onto her sister’s clothes, causing Omowumi to fall and sustain serious injuries.
She was rushed to a nearby hospital but was confirmed dead on arrival.
The Ondo State Police Command confirmed the incident, stating that Bosede has been arrested and is in custody.
Police spokesperson, DSP Olusola Ayanlade, said the case is under investigation and assured that justice would be served.
