Tragedy occurred in Oba Ile community, Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State on Thursday when a mentally unstable 19-year-old man fatally stabbed an officer of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) during a struggle. According to an eyewitness, the incident began when the suspect’s mother called in two NSCDC officers to help restrain her son, not to provoke any conflict. The eyewitness explained, “When the boy started misbehaving this morning, his mother invited two civil defence officers to help her chain him. During the process, he overpowered one of the officers, grabbed his knife, and stabbed him.” The eyewitness added that despite the officer being armed, he tragically lost his life in the altercation. The Public Relations Officer of the NSCDC in Ondo State, Daniel Aidamenbor, confirmed the incident, calling it unfortunate. He said, “Yes, the incident happened. It occurred when our officer was trying to take the man to a facility for proper treatment.”
