The Lagos State Police are currently investigating the death of a 57-year-old man allegedly stabbed to death by his friend over sachet of dry gin worth N30, in Otto community, an outskirt of Lagos.
Meanwhile, Police officers have gone on a raiding spree in the community and allegedly whisked away about 30 suspects.
The victim, identified as Mr. Abudu (aka Baba Timo), who had moved from Bariga to Otto some months ago, was cooling down with local gin at a joint with his friend (names yet unknown) when trouble began.
Vanguard gathered that the disagreement, which started as a joke at 8p.m., last Friday took a new dimension at 10 p.m., after the duo engaged in a fight, using dangerous weapons such as broken bottle and cutlass on each other. Baba Timo reportedly inflicted machete cuts on his friend’s head and hand, while his friend used a broken bottle on his (Baba Timo) neck.
Unfortunately, Baba Timo died on the spot while his friend who sustained injuries on his head and neck is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Lagos.
