The police in Lagos State have launched a
manhunt for two neighbours, identified only as
Muhammed and Samuel, who stabbed a man
to death during a quarrel in the Somolu area
of the state.
It was learnt that the victim, identified as
Christian Ugbaka, was stabbed in the chest
while trying to settle a fight between
Muhammed and Samuel, who lived on
Babylone Street.
The 25-year-old Ugbaka, who had visited a
friend in the house at about 10pm last
Tuesday, met Muhammed and Samuel arguing
over Muhammed’s girlfriend, identified simply
as Sahadatu.
He reportedly attempted to settle the fight,
but was killed during the altercation. The
suspects subsequently fled the area.
A police source said that it was believed that
Muhammed owned the dagger used to stab
the victim to death.
He said, “It was the girlfriend, Sahadatu, who
came to the police station to report that her
lover, Muhammed, had stabbed a peacemaker
to death.
“On that evening, the occupants were sitting
together in front of the house. Sahadatu’s
younger sister, Aishat, was also with them.
Samuel was said to have had an argument
with Sahadatu, during which Samuel slapped
Aishat and Sahadatu.
“Mohammed, the boyfriend, was angry and
queried Samuel for harassing his girlfriend
and her younger sister. It resulted in a scuffle.
It was the victim, Ugbaka, who came in at the
moment and tried to separate the two men.
“But suddenly, one of the men brought out a
father and mistakenly stabbed Ugbaka in the
chest.
