A 23-year-old sales boy, Akeem Tajudeen, has been stabbed to
death in Ilaje Otumara, in the Iponri area of Lagos State, by some hoodlums. He
was stabbed on Monday with a knife by one Abeeb, who allegedly claimed that
Akeem came to a birthday party on Saturday in the neighbouring Olokodana area,
when he was not invited.
Akeem, who hailed from Ilorin, Kwara State, was killed on
Monday around 9pm. It was gathered that the hoodlums trailed him to his house
and “punished him for daring to gatecrash our party.” The hoodlums also injured
two other youths before fleeing the community.
The matter was said to have been reported at the Iponri
Police Division, and a manhunt was launched by the police for runaway Abeeb,
whose parents had also fled from their house to evade arrest.
Akeem’s father, Tajudeen Owonikoko, an inter-state driver,
said he received the sad news on the telephone while at work.
He said, “Akeem was not a troublesome boy. I was at work on
Monday when they called me that someone had stabbed him to death. My wife has
been hospitalised since that Monday. I want the police to arrest the killer of
Akeem. I want him to be brought to justice because he has thrown my family into
mourning.”
According to The Punch,
Akeem had been buried on Tuesday.
