Neighbours, family members and friends, spoke in sepulchral tones and had mournful facial expressions on hearing the news of the death of Mr. Aribidesi, an Ilorin- based trader on Thursday.
The deceased, a store owner at Oja Tuntun market , was attacked at his residence in Alubarika area, Gaa –Osibi, Ilorin on Thursday night.

Tragedy really struck the family as Aribidesi reportedly died from cutlass wounds while the assailants were also said to have taken two among his children away.

They also took his mobile phone and had since reportedly contacted his family to demand for 10 million naira as ransom.

‘Nobody knew how they were able to gain access to the building , nobody knew if they had scaled the fence or not.

But we learned that they killed him and took  his two  children away.  He died from cutlass wounds.

People have continued to visit his residence  to condole  his  wife.  It was nothing but an unfortunate incident’   one of the residents of Gaa-osibi said.
