According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Owolabi, a student of the physical and health education department, stabbed Kolawole to death with a bottle.

The judge said the prosecuting counsel, Olawale, deputy director in the Oyo state ministry of justice, proved the case beyond reasonable doubt.

Olawale, while addressing the court said the convict killed Kolawole following a misunderstanding between them.

He said Kolawole died as a result of injury sustained during the stabbing.

The judge advised parents to always monitor their children to prevent them from misbehaving.
