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.
Punch 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.
Punch gathered that
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.
It was learnt that the matter was reported at
the Pedro Police Division, while the operatives took Ugbaka’s corpse to a
morgue.
A police source told Punch that it was believed
that Muhammed owned the dagger used to stab the victim to death.
The Lagos State Police spokesperson, Badmos, confirmed the
incident, adding that investigation was ongoing.
