Homicides detectives attached to the Lagos State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, are presently trying to fish out the suspect who stabbed a man to death as he was leaving a mosque at Abule- Egba.
The deceased, Taye Ogunlaja, was said to have gone for his afternoon prayer and was leaving the mosque when someone came from behind and stabbed him in the neck.
Ogunlaja was already planning to travel to France with his wives and kids when he was killed. He had only secured the visas for his kids and two wives. The deceased was a member of the National Union of Road Transport Worker (NURTW), Marina branch.
