    A motorcyclist, Ahmed Owolabi, narrowly escaped death after his passenger, Sherif Oyeniyi, inflicted deep razor blade cuts on his neck while they were in motion in Arepo, Ogun State.

    Spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, CSP Omolola Odutola, disclosed this in a statement she made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
    According to Odutola, the attack occurred at 4:15 pm at Orange Estate, Arepo.
    She revealed that the victim, a 27-year-old resident of Onimane Magada, Ibafo, was rescued and rushed to the hospital following the brutal attack.
    The alarm was raised by Alani Muritala, a resident of Shefu Elede in Ibafo, who reported the crime to the police. Muritala informed officers that Owolabi had been attacked by Oyeniyi, who resides at 44 Association Road, Orange Estate, Voera, Arepo.
    “Owolabi was conveying Oyeniyi to his destination in Arepo when Oyeniyi suddenly pulled out a razor blade and slashed his neck in two separate locations,” Odutola explained.
    According to Odutola, the Divisional Police Officer and his team arrived at the scene, transported the bleeding victim to the hospital, and apprehended the suspect.
    Despite being taken into custody, Oyeniyi reportedly showed no remorse for his actions. During interrogation, he admitted to visiting a voodoo doctor prior to the attack.
    When asked whether the seer had requested a blood sacrifice or initiation, Oyeniyi blamed his actions on “the devil’s handiwork.”
    “The Divisional Crime Branch is conducting a thorough investigation into the matter,” Odutola added. “The suspect will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.”
    Owolabi is currently receiving medical attention while the police continue to investigate the motive behind the bizarre act, the statement noted.
