Tolu Esuola, a 21-year-old lady was recently found tied to a bed and
burnt to death in Oyo Town, Oyo State. Speaking on the incident, Mrs.
Juliana Esuola, Tolu’s mother, said she suspects Tolu’s former love
interest simply known as Kunle, who was said to have been seen by
neighbours in the vicinity of the house on the fateful day.
The bereaved mother on Thursday explained the reason for her
suspicion to newsmen saying, “Some of our neighbours told me they saw
Kunle in our house that day. Juliana said Kunle had impregnated her
daughter but terminated it, resulting in a frosty relationship between
the duo.”
She narrated the genesis of the unfortunate series of events saying:
“Kunle was like our son. My husband
took him in about four years ago after we converted him from Islam to
Christianity. He began going to church with us.
“We did everything for him as if he was our son. I was shocked when I was told that he had impregnated her.”
She further narrated her story saying Kunle was finally sent packing
from their house when he proceeded to physically assault their daughter
over matters of infidelity leveled against Kunle by Tolu.
A neighbour of the Esuola family, intMr. David Oshotolu, said he was
with the deceased a day before the unfortunate incident when Kunle
called to intimate her of his impending visit the next day.
He said, “We were alerted to a fire at the house and firefighters
were called. When we realised that she had died in the fire, my mind
went straight to Kunle. I knew he had said he was coming that day.”
He said his suspicion was further fueled when Kunle refused to give
his exact location when he was called after the fire incident.
According to Oshotolu, the suspect of this horrific crime first said
he was in Minna, Niger State, and later told others that he was present
in Lagos as at the time of the incident.
According to the Punch Metro, Oshotolu said he saw that the
ankle and the wrist of the corpse were tied with cable wire when the
dead body was being carried away.
“The wire had melted. We were all shocked. There was no sign that she
moved from the bed. She could have been killed before the fire,”
Oshotolu postulated.
Mr. Tambari Muhammed, the Oyo State commissioner of Police, said that
the police is still in the process of conducting a thorough
investigation on the case.
