A High Court in Ogun State has sentenced one Adelake Bara to death by hanging for shooting and killing one Olaleye Oke who he accused of having illicit affair with one of his three wives

Delivering judgment, Justice Patricia Oduniyi held that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt that Bara was guilty of the charge.

During the trial, state prosecuting counsel, Miss T. O. Adeyemi, told the court that Bara committed the offence on May 1, 2018, at about 6pm at Afodan Farm Settlement, Ijoun, in Aiyetoro area of the state.

Miss Adeyemi said Oke was on his farm when Bara met him and accused him of having a love affair with one of his wives.

She said, “Bara, who has three wives, brought out a gun and shot Oke in the head while the latter was trying to explain that he had no affair with any of Bara’s wives as accused.’’ (NAN)
