The case was reported by Kamoru Akanbi one of the workers at Owode Egba Division that their supervisor, Monday Ale Dare came to the farm to pay workers salary, but the practice is for him to inspect each worker’s portion before payment.
After inspecting the portion of Jacob and paid him, the said Jacob suddenly hit him with a club on the head consequence upon which the man lost his consciousness, not satisfied with that, he further matcheted his body severally with cutlass until he passed out momentarily.

Having waited for the supervisor to come and inspect other workers portions endlessly, the workers went to check on him at Jacob’s portion where they met the supervisor in the pool of his own blood.
On the strength of the report, the DPO Owode egba Division CSP sheu Alao detailed detectives to the scene where the victim was quickly rushed to an hospital for medical attention.
