According to Police authorities, Gbadamosi was killed following a disagreement over the ownership of two chickens.
Trouble started after Gbadamosi and three others, Musa Sumaila, Usman Garuba and one Yahaya; had a misunderstanding over the chickenS and the argument led to a brawl. Gbadamosi was injured in the process and was later rushed to the Epe General Hospital where he was declared dead.
The doctor on duty reported the case to the Divisional Police Officer, Epe Division, who then sent his men to the hospital and Sumaila and Garuba were said to have been arrested immediately, while Yahaya fled.
However, some of Gbadamosi's relatives protested and demanded that his body be released to them so he could be immediately buried according to Islamic rites.
A police source said, "Most times, when there is any death, especially one resulting from murder, it is the duty of the hospital to keep the corpse in the mortuary after which an autopsy will be conducted.
"However, Gbadamosi's colleagues, who are all Northern Muslims, demanded that the corpse must be given to them or they would wreak havoc. That was why the hospital called us."
Police Public Relations, Ngozi Braide, said that efforts were on to arrest Yahaya, adding that normalcy had been restored in the area.
