A bricklayer, Adeleke Oyadara, has been tortured to death in Kujore, Iwelepe, in the Sagamu area of Ogun State, after he was accused of robbery.
PUNCH Metro learnt that a businesswoman, identified only as Bolanle, had claimed that she was robbed by the deceased on September 10.
Bolanle, around 8pm of the next day, was alleged to have gone to Adeleke’s house with some hoodlums. They were said to have descended on the 50-year-old and beaten him to a pulp before putting him in a truck they brought.
