The Ondo State Police Command has arrested a woman, Iluyemi Bosede, for allegedly killing her elder sister, Tewogboye Omowumi, during a fight over ₦800 in Akure.
The police spokesperson in the state, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka Olushola, said in a statement on Tuesday that the incident happened on September 6 at about 8:00 p.m.
He explained that the dispute began when Bosede asked her 35-year-old sister to pay for tomatoes and pepper.
The argument reportedly turned physical, and Bosede allegedly pulled her sister by the clothes, causing her to fall. Omowumi was rushed to the hospital but was confirmed dead on arrival.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP Adebowale Lawal, described the case as “unfortunate” and cautioned residents against letting disagreements turn violent.
“Disputes, no matter how small, should be resolved through dialogue and not violence. This case shows how avoidable quarrels can end in tragedy,” Lawal said.
He added that the suspect would face prosecution and restated the command’s commitment to protecting lives across the state.
