The ugly incident occurred last Tuesday around the Yaba axis of Lagos. A car that had been parked on the road for quite a while, cornered a trailer as it approached around 4pm, 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. Read the rest of the story after the break.
According to eye witnesses, 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. May God help us in this country o!
