A man was on Tuesday December 10th, brutally stabbed to death in Lagos
for reasons unknown, around the Yaba area of Lagos. According to eye
witnesses accounts; A car that had been parked on the road for quite a
while, cornered a trailer as it approached around 4pm on Tuesday. Two
hefty men then jumped out of the car and dragged down the driver of the
trailer who was wearing a blue suit and began stabbing him in broad day
light.
One man concentrated on his head and the other on his
tummy, while people watched in horror unable to help the victim. They
stabbed him for several minutes while a third man said to be the driver
of the car was heard shouting 'kill him', 'kill him' in Yoruba.
The
incident which lasted a few minutes caused serious traffic and panic as
several motorist, who weren't sure of what was going on, abandoned
their vehicles and took to their heels.
After the men ensured
that their victim was dead, they got into their car and drove off. A few
minutes later, a huge crowd gathered where the victim lay dead where it
was later learned that the dead man was the head of the Tipper
'Trailer' association in the Bariga area of Lagos and was just coming
back from court where he'd been favoured in a land dispute.
His
family members arrived the scene several minutes later, and one member
was heard screaming "Can you see Kayode has killed my brother, Can you
see". His corpse was removed by the police.
