Tunde Labinjo, who finished from Overcomers Senior School, Ijebu-Ode in 2015, was said to have stormed the inter-house sports event of Muslim Cooperative School in Ijebu-Ode with the weapon concealed inside a polythene bag.
The suspect, a self-confessed member of Eiye Confraternity, went to the school with a friend who was apparently unaware of his fiendish intent. But luck ran out on Labinjo when policemen deployed to ensure security at the school’s sporting competition sighted him and suspected his bag.
He was promptly arrested after the shocking discovery of a locally-made pistol in his possession.
The teenager, who is the third of his parents’ four children, however, said the gun did not belong to him. He claimed that one Bolaji, now at large, was the real owner. Labinjo said: “On Tuesday (March 22), there was a brother who gave me a gun. He gave me at night. I did not want to take the gun home, so I kept it behind a school.
On Wednesday, he now called and said he wanted to collect his gun; I was at the gate entrance, yet to enter the school. “But I said I couldn’t come back. He now asked if he could come and collect it at Lagos Garage (in Ijebu-Ode), I said okay. I wanted to use the opportunity to give him his property. I gave it to my friend Dare Afisu.
Later, policemen wanted to search us.” Before police searched them however, Afisu had returned Labinjo’s bag to him. They searched Afisu and found nothing incriminating on him. He was allowed to go. But when they searched Labinjo, they discovered the gun.http://newtelegraphonline.com/17-year-old-storms-secondary-school-gun/
