The incident happened on Friday night at the
birthday party organised by one Nafiu Yusuf, for his daughter, who clocked one
year.
It was also gathered that three people have
been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command in connection with the incident.
An eyewitness who spoke to a source but
pleaded anonymity said, “They fought again four days ago, and I was the one
that separated them. I was surprised to hear that Abu had been killed. I heard
that he was stabbed in his armpit. It is a delicate part of the body.”
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Ogun
State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident.
She said, “It is a case of suspected murder.
I am reliably informed that it happened on the 19th of April. We received a
call a few minutes before midnight from someone from one Glory Hospital that
someone they didn’t know was rushed to their hospital with another person they
didn’t know who was injured.
“They noticed that they brought him in dead. Policemen rushed to the scene, and three suspects were arrested. During
the interrogation, it was discovered that one Nafiu Yusuf, a 35-year-old male
from Halleluyah quarters, was the one who organised a birthday party for his
daughter and invited his friends.”
Speaking further, she said, “It was while
they were having the party that a fight erupted between Dada Sulaiman, a male,
32 years old, and another person. The prime suspect is one Abubakar who died.
“They stabbed him in his stomach with a
broken bottle based on the argument that erupted and the deceased died on the
spot. He has been deposited to the hospital for autopsy. We know that cases
like this cannot be handled by the division level, very soon they will be
transferred.”
“It was caused by intoxication on a
suspected substance maybe alcohol but we don’t know yet. We always warn about
the dangers of people having free drinks. It is a case of anger management,
temperament, and emotional intelligence. If you cannot manage alcohol, don’t
drink.”
