A man,
identified only as Asunmo, has been detained at the State Criminal
Investigation and Intelligence Department in Lagos, for allegedly killing a
driver,
Sodiq Fatai.
It was said
that Asunmo stabbed Fatai to death with a knife at the White Sand area of Ijora
Badia, during a scuffle over a prostitute.
The suspect
was said to have challenged the victim over his relationship with the lady,
whom he (Asunmo) was dating.
Despite his
denial, Asunmo was alleged to have attacked the victim and fled the area.
A community
leader, who did not want to be identified, told Punch that his attention was
called to Asunmo’s corpse, which was abandoned on a heap of refuse in the area.
He said, “I
was told that the two men fought and one stabbed the other to death. The police
from the Ijora Badia came to take the corpse away.”
A woman, who
did not identify herself, said the two men were drunk.
She said, “The
men were always fighting after drinking. They fought after they were
inebriated.”
Another
resident said the victim was a driver, while the suspect had no job.
A police source
said Asunmo and Fatai had a disagreement over a woman.
He said,
“Asunmo suspected that Fatai was dating his girlfriend and he confronted him.
Although the man denied, he attacked and killed him. The woman in question is a
prostitute.”
The Police Public
Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the suspect had been arrested.
