A motorcycle rider, Shehu Sanni, has allegedly stabbed a security man, Ibukun Oguntona, to death in the Okobaba, Oyingbo area of Lagos. Sanni, who has been arrested by the police, allegedly killed the security man when he (Sanni) was stopped at a checkpoint, and queried over his movement.
Punch correspondent learnt that on Wednesday, July 8, at about 10pm, 38-year-old Oguntona was on a night duty on Abeokuta and Lagos streets, Oyingbo, when the suspect got to the area. It was gathered that Sanni’s motorcycle was faulty, and he was pushing it when the security man accosted him. Oguntona, who reportedly had an instruction not to allow motorcycle riders into the area at that time, demanded to know Sanni’s mission on the street.
It was gathered that the suspect allegedly refused to answer Oguntona, which made the security man to hold on to his motocycle. The suspect was said to have drawn a knife and stabbed Oguntona in the stomach. The deceased reportedly raised the alarm, which alerted his colleague on Tapa Street. He rushed to the scene and called residents to take Oguntona to a hospital. The security man reportedly died on the way.
A police source said Sanni initially fled the scene with his motorcycle and the blood-stained knife.
He added that the neighbours, however, fished Sanni out and reported the matter at the Denton Police Division.
