BARELY six days to his wedding ceremony scheduled for March 12 and 13, Mr. Olokose Olusola Ojo, a member of staff of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, fell victim to a gruesome subterfuge by a trusted friend and neighbour who had volunteered to help him purchase a cow for the ceremony. Kazeem Mohammed, a native of Patigi in Kwara North Local Government Area of Kwara State, had assured Olokose that procuring a cow for the wedding at a relatively cheap rate wasn’t going to be a problem. Armed with the specified sum, they had both headed for Patigi to purchase the said cows. Unknown to Olokose, however, his so-called trusted friend, a jailbird and notorious felon who had in the past betrayed many people, including his compatriots in Patigi, had already arranged for members of his gang to lie in wait.
