Business activities were brought to temporary halt at Tinubu area of Lagos Island, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria when some miscreants stabbed their colleague to death with a broken bottle over a misunderstanding.
The deceased, identified as Saheed, aged 25, was said to have had quarrel with his suspected assailant, Muri, alias Babanla now at large, recently at Ijora-Badia, a suburb in Iganmu area of Lagos State during which Muri sustained arm injury.
Both the deceased and the assailant were said to reside at Ijora-Badia before Muri escaped to Lagos Island and stayed with Yusuf Alli, alias Salako at uncompleted building at Ajisomo street, known as ‘Oriketebe’ on the Island.
According to eye witnesses, “Babanla was sitting among his colleagues at the entrance of Ajisomo street when the deceased was sighted, walking along Nnamdi Azikwe street at about 9. 30am and was pursuit by Babanla and three other youths in their circle”.
“Babanla, Ife, Adeniyi Kosoko and Ibrahim Alli alias ‘Abo’ pursued Saheed and caught up with him near Tinubu square where Muri stabbed him at the back. When Saheed turned back to see his attackers, Muri stabbed him again on the throat, which led to his death on the spot and the assailants took to their heels,” the source narrated.
