A heartless man has brutally murdered his own friend by using a knife to stab him during an altercation in a beer parlour.
A man has brutally murdered his friend after a disagreement by stabbing him with a knife.
Punch reports that 32-year-old father of two, Gbenga Olorunsola, was killed by his friend, Damilare Adenuga, after an altercation between the two at a drinking joint on Kayfarm Estate, Iju-Ishaga, Lagos, degenerated into a scuffle.
It was gathered that 28-year-old Adenuga, a commercial motorcyclist, (okada rider) was a guard on the estate, while the deceased worked there as an electrician.
According to reports, the suspect had been sacked in May 2016 and warned not to enter the estate because of his bad behaviour. But on Saturday, he defied the order ad came to the estate around 11am, went to a joint to drink with his friends. As the fun was on, Olorunsola arrived at the joint.
A few minutes later, he was said to have questioned Adenuga on his presence on the estate and told him to leave.
Speaking on how the incident happened, an eyewitness said: “Gbenga (Olorunsola) snatched a cup of drink his friend, Adenuga was holding and poured it on him. Other friends initially thought they were joking with each other. But they started exchanging words and Gbenga threatened to beat him up.
“Gbenga aimed a punch at Damilare, while Damilare brought out a knife which he used to stab him in the chest. He fled after the attack, while Gbenga was rushed to the Ifako-Jaiye General Hospital,”
The victim lost too much blood and died.
“Adenuga had been warned by the leadership of the estate to stop coming after he was relieved of his duty as a guard. But he has been coming here from time to time because he is an okada rider.
“I think there was more between them than the immediate cause of the fight. It was amazing that such a minor disagreement could lead to a fight, let alone death,” he added.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said Olorunsola’s corpse had been deposited at the Mainland General Hospital’s mortuary.
She said, “The CSO of Kayfarm estate brought the suspect to the station and reported that he stabbed one Gbenga Olorunsola with a knife in his chest over an argument. The victim was rushed to the Ifako-Ijaiye General Hospital where he later died. His corpse had been deposited at the mortuary for autopsy.”
The PPRO added that the suspect would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department in Panti, Yaba for further investigation.
