The Ogun State Police Command arrested 21-year-old butcher Selim Ayodele for the alleged stabbing death of his 26-year-old colleague, Ibrahim Wasiu, following a disagreement at their workplace in Alagbole, Ogun State. The incident occurred on October 18, 2026, after both men had completed their workday at a cow meat-selling outlet.

According to a statement from the Police Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, the disagreement arose over who was responsible for sweeping the floor. During the altercation, Ayodele allegedly picked up a knife and stabbed Wasiu in the left side of his chest, twisting the weapon before fleeing the scene.

Wasiu was rushed to Life Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. His body was taken to Life Channel Private Mortuary in Lanbe, Ajuwon, for an autopsy.

Ayodele remains in custody as investigations continue, with the Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, Bode Ojajuni, emphasizing the command's commitment to thorough investigations and lawful prosecution.
