For allegedly killing his biological son, the Omu-Aran Traditional Council has banished a commercial motorist, Kehinde Akangbe, from the community.

It was gathered that the directive for Akangbe, alias Surutu, to vacate the community within one week emanated from the council after its weekly meeting last Friday.

It was alleged that late last year, Sola, a 22-year-old wheelbarrow pusher, died from wounds he sustained from a fire allegedly set on him by his father.

The late Sola was accused of stealing an undisclosed amount of money from some roadside beggars in Omu-Aran, when he was caught and handed over to his father.

The father was said to have allegedly taken his son to a nearby bush along Omu-Aran/Isanlu-Isin road, tied his hands and legs, and set him ablaze.

Sola, who was still alive when he was rescued, told his rescuers that his father was responsible for the act.

The father, Kehinde, has since been on trial by the council.

for the crime.

Speaking on the development yesterday, Chief Azeez Adeniyi, spokesperson for the Omu-Aran Traditional Council, said Kehinde’s action was a bad precedence and contrary to the community’s laid down rules and regulations.
