| Azeez |
Homicide detectives attached to the State Criminal
Investigations Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, Lagos State, have
arrested a 33-year-old truck driver who killed his best friend.
The suspect, Tunde Azeez, apparently still in shock, said he never meant to kill his best friend, Lukmon Ayedun.
Azeez was said to have stabbed Ayedun to death on Monday
night, with a broken bottle at the Amuwo Odofin area of the state. He
said the murder and death of his friend was a mistake, adding that he
deeply regretted his action.
Trouble started after Azeez, bought food from a vendor and
woke his friend who was fast asleep to eat with him. Apparently angry at
being woken from his sleep, Ayedun was said to have punched Azeez. A
shocked Azeez had quickly retaliated. Within a blink of an eye, they
were both engaged in a fisticuff.
Azeez said mournfully: "I never meant to kill him! On that
fateful day, after I bought the food, I woke him. I wanted us to share
and eat the food together. He angry and punched me. I was surprised. I
asked him why. As if that was not enough, he broke a bottle and stabbed
me on my left hand. Immediately, I grabbed the broken bottle from him
and stabbed him on his head.”
Azeez said he had to run to alert a member of the Odua
People’s Congress (OPC), in the area after Ayedun tried to stab him once
again. “When the OPC and other people came, they decided to take us to
the hospital. We were both bleeding terribly from our injuries. But on
the way to the hospital, Lukmon fell off the motorcycle and died.”
