The incident occurred about 1pm on Monday at Olowosatide, Ijako, Ota, when the suspect and the father of the deceased, Mr Olalekan Razak, were said to be fighting.
Olaleye reportedly threw an ignited kerosene stove at Razak, who is his tenant. But the stove fell on Abdullahi, causing him severe injuries. The boy was confirmed dead at the hospital where he was rushed to.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, said in a statement that the accused would be charged to court after investigation into the matter.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP Abdulmajid Ali, according to the statement, described the incident as unfortunate. Adejobi said Ali had directed that the suspect be charged to court after investigation.
The commissioner, however, sympathised with members of the family of the boy and assured them, as well as Good people of Ogun State, of justice in the matter. Meanwhile, police yesterday ordered the operators of pubs and other liquor joints in the state to close shop by 10pm henceforth.
