A shocking incident has occurred in the Oko Oba area of Lagos State, where a man identified as Taiwo Badejo has allegedly stabbed his friend, simply known as Monday, to death over a debt of N2,500. According to eyewitnesses, the argument began on Friday, May 17, and escalated into a fight, resulting in the tragic death of Monday.
Resident Tope Ajise, who lives in the area, described the events leading up to the incident, saying: “It started just as arguments a night before Friday until we heard in the morning that he (Taiwo) had stabbed Monday. It was just because of N2,500. He borrowed the money from Monday, and the man came to ask for his money. That was how he picked a knife and stabbed him. The man could not make it, he bled till death. I know the suspect to be a twin, he bears the name, Taiwo.”
Another resident, Taofeek, expressed his concern about the lack of employment opportunities in the area, saying: “They just move around, tax people, eat and that’s all. There are so many people like that in this area with no tangible source of income. So, when you hear of issues like this, you can first trace it to joblessness. You know an idle hand, they say, is the devil’s workshop.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident, stating: “The suspect’s name is Taiwo Badejo. He has been arrested. The case is now at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti.”
The community is left in shock and mourning, and the incident serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of unresolved conflicts and the need for effective conflict resolution mechanisms.
