A motorcyclist, Ibrahim Dauda, has been on the run after allegedly stabbing a security guard, Yusuf Akadogo, to death on Igbira Road, in the Idiaraba area of Lagos State.
It was gathered on Tuesday that Dauda was riding the motorcycle to a destination when a minor accident occurred around 9.20 pm on June 13, 2024.
The accident was said to have caused an argument that attracted people in the community.
A source, who does not want to be mentioned in print for fear of victimisation, said during the argument, Akadogo intervened, adding that Dauda allegedly stabbed him.
Explaining further, the source said Dauda, upon realising the impact of his attack on the victim, fled from the scene, adding that in a bid to rescue Akadogo, people who witnessed the attack quickly rushed him to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital for treatment.
Our source, however, noted that the guard died while receiving treatment in the hospital.
The source said, “The incident happened on June 13, 2024, around 9.20 pm. What happened was that a minor accident involving a motorcycle happened and after the accident, there was an argument.
“During the argument, the security guard intervened and the motorcyclist stabbed him in the stomach. The guard was quickly rushed to LUTH for treatment but he died while receiving treatment in the hospital.”
