A man who is responsible for the death of his friend has been arrested for his crimes. This man had killed his freida during an argument which had ensued over the payment of food. The suspect has been identified as Akinola Adeleye.
He and his friend John who was killed got into an agreement over the payment of food and this led to Akinola killing John in the heat of things. Akinola stabbed his friend John to death during the argument. Their fight had been about who was to pay for a plate of food.
This incident happened recently in the Ifako Ijaiye Local Government Area in Lagos State. It was some other residents who narrated this incident that transpired.The two men argued over who was to pay for the food which Akinola (the suspect) had eaten. Akinola who had been squatting with his friend John in his house for some time had gone to their usual spot to eat food.
After Akinola ate, he then left saying the bill should be added to that of John and John on getting there and hearing this didn't take it well. The duo had then quarreled over this and the quarrel led to a fight which resulted in Akinola stabbing John to death with a knife.
The witness mentioned that “It happened that Akinola went and ate a plate of food in their usual buka and after eating instead of paying he asked them to add his bill to the account of his friend who wasn’t there with him at that time. So, when the victim went to eat at the local restaurant, they informed him that he owed them for the food his friend ate. He was surprised and angry that his friend would ask them to bill him without even telling him about it. So, he quickly finished his meal and went home to confront his friend about the debt that was passed down to him. That was how they started quarrelling. As they were fighting over the matter, Akinola, out of anger asked John to pack out of his house immediately but John refused and the fight intensified. Before anyone knew what was happening, Akinola left the scene of the fight, rushed back with a knife and stabbed John. We had assumed the fight was over when Akinola left, only for us to see him rush at John with the knife. Before we could do anything, John was on the ground and blood was gushing out from his body. Everywhere became scattered in confusion.”
He revealed that this incident has caused great sadness and confusion to the members of the community. Be shared that the suspect, Akinola had wanted to escape too but some men caught him before he could turn.
The police were contacted but they refused to come to that area saying it was too dangerous. They claimed that the Police then asked them to bring the corpse and the suspect to the junction so they could take over. They then carried the body on a wheelbarrow to the junction and also took the suspect to the police waiting at the junction and handed him over.
