The Police Command in Lagos State has arrested two men claiming to be cleaners for allegedly murdering a man named Friday who reportedly exposed their nefarious activities.
The command’s Spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundein, confirmed the arrests to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Saturday.
Hundein said a person, whose name was not disclosed, lodged a complaint at the Ilemba Hausa Police Station on Friday at about 4.30pm.
According to the report, around 11 a.m. that day, the victim was at home when he heard his brother, Friday (34), screaming for help.
“He immediately ran to his brother who was lying in a pool of blood, while the two suspects, later identified as Abubakar Haruna, 20, and Mohammed Abdullahi, 18, were seen fleeing the scene.”
“Preliminary investigations have revealed that the suspects were trash pickers and had gone to an unfinished building in the neighbourhood to steal roof shingles.”
“The victim challenged the suspects which escalated into a fight during which the suspects allegedly stabbed the victim in the head with scissors.”
“The deceased was rushed to Naval Hospital Satellite Town where he was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty,” he said.
Hun Dein said the suspects are currently in police custody for further investigation into the murder, and that the victim’s body has been kept in the hospital morgue pending investigations.
